I’m trying to get into data analysis for my own personal satisfaction. I want to analyze financial markets and sports maybe even crime rates. I have no degree. I’ve just been reading books, old college textbook hand me downs. I’m a poor bastard and I want to know how can I not get ripped off? Some of these statistical analysis software are by subscription only and prices I can’t afford. There decent non subscription programs to get started? I mean if the subscription programs are better I’ll buy them. When I’m rich of course. Which is best?
