I'm afraid that I haven't looked at or experimented with the packages in

    <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/software.html>

very much.  The only package that I KNOW does statistics is the FAN
package, which is no longer supported I believe.  I'm sure, however,
that other packages mentioned in that list will also do statistics.

I'm afraid that all I could do for you would be to go over the list --
which you should probably do yourself for yourself.

I think Russ Rew is more knowledgeable than I about the packages on the
list (he maintains the list).  I've CC'ed him on this reply.  You might
get a recommendation from him.
