That's handy because employers tend to have SPSS or SAS, not the free software (some have R but I don't even want to think about using R with people who are not going to become statisticians and may have very little computer skill I'd sooner use Stata!). PSPP is very similar to SPSS, and if you know PSPP, you can learn SPSS very quickly. My preference would be to use PSPP instead. We do have online access to it, via Apporto, but that is clunky and not everyone can use it due to Internet access problems (it requires pretty good Internet speeds). Ideally, we would all use SPSS, but we quickly run into two problems: SPSS is enormous in size, and students don't necessarily want to pay $50 for six months of SPSS rental. What do I use in my class? We do t-tests, crostabs, correlations, and stepwise regressions. It's easier to master if you're used to SPSS, but development has been very slow and JASP and Jamovi may be better options for that reason-unless you do a lot of computes and recodes and other data manipulation, or do a lot of t-tests. At the moment there are some nasty bugs, but overall it might be easier for many people to use than JASP and Jamovi. There’s a third SPSS clone, one which keeps most of the user interface from a relatively ancient version of SPSS: PSPP.

Their basic interface has an Office 365-style open/save/print/export tab options on the left, output on the right layout instant changes to the output if you change the input and export of both data and output, as desired. JASP and Jamovi share lightning-fast speed a wide range of statistics, with extra plugins on Jamovi and easy installation on Macs, Windows, and Linux. Importing variable labels and missing values from SPSS files sometimes fails (I've only seen the missing values problem on Windows), a major drawback to programs that will read SPSS files otherwise.

The programs have spreadsheet-like data editors, but it's best to prepare information for them somewhere else they let you computer variables, but in a clunky and hard to use way. JASP is a fork of (it was originally based on) Jamovi both are still under active development, which have fairly similar user interfaces, and both saved a good deal of time and trouble by not reinventing the wheel-they are essentially user interfaces for another statistics program, the hard-to-learn-and-use R. Ironically, each one has a much faster user interface than SPSS-and all import and export SPSS. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and there is nothing stopping you from using all three depending on what you are trying to do. I have taught statistics using JASP, Jamovi, and PSPP. and does this work on Mojave? Is it signed and 64-bit? What about cryptographic signing and error messages when you try to install free statistical software for Macs? See our “ signing page.”. Free statistics software for Macintosh computers (Macs)
