Which one of the followings is better to use for data analysis and presentation?
R, SPSS, STATA, Eviews, Gretl
Dear Narayan,
All the software are fine and serve some different and many common purposes. R, STATA, EViews, SPSS all give good options for analysis and output presentation. R and Stata are very good and popular . EViews is time series specialist software but it can also handle cross sectional and panel data.
Best wishes,

It depends on your expertise/experience with the programs you listed. R, for example is very powerful for both, data analysis and graphical presentation. There is a huge community and the program is free, but you need experience in programming. SPSS is a "click and point" program, which is intuitive and good for the beginners, but you have to bay it. I dont have any experiences with STATA, Eviews and Gretl.
Kind regards

Which vehicle is better: airplane, ship, train, or car?
It depends...
R, SPSS & STATA are the three widely used statistical software. I use R & SPSS. Like Pavlo mentioned, SPSS is quite convenient for beginners while R has greater application for statistics/graphics and computing in general, but requires a good knowledge of R commands and syntax.
I think you should make do with SPSS.

It depends on your budget, purpose and skillset. If you are on a tight budget and are willing to learn enough to complete your task, then I recommend R.
