Re: Digital Visual Fortran vers 5.0 vs 6.6

From: "Venkatesh Atul Bhattaram" Subject: Re: [NMusers] Digital Visual Fortran vers 5.0 vs 6.6 Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 13:21:46 -0500 Hello All I did one analysis comparison between Fortran Power Station (Ver4.0) and Compaq Visual Fortran (Ver 6.6) using a data set in which I had 2460 observed records from 156 individuals on Win2000. I used a simple FO for the analysis. In both cases the final results (parameter estimates) were almost identical. The number of functions evaluations were 602 (VF6.6) and 561 (Power Station). The number of significant digits were 3.2 (VF6.6) and 3.3 (Power Station). I am not sure with other intensive procedures like FOCE etc. Venkatesh Atul Bhattaram Post-doctoral Fellow University of Florida
