general-purpose language is probably easier. Nor is GAUSS appropriate for standard applications

on standard datasets. There is little point in writing a probit estimation routine in GAUSS for a

small dataset. Firstly, there are already routines commercially available for non-linear estimation

using GAUSS. More importantly, TSP, LimDep, etc will already perform the estimation and there

is no necessity to learn anything at all about GAUSS to use these programs. However, to get extra
