This website lists repositories of statistical software packages developed by the team of the
Institute of Clinical Biometrics,
Center for Medical Data Science,
Medical University of Vienna,
to accompany their research projects.

Please note that the programs are prototypes:

We have extensively tested the programs, yet we deny liability for results from these programs.

This website is under development, more repositories will be added soon.
