What StatCrunch is
StatCrunch is web-based statistical software for analyzing data, sharing data sets, and creating reports. Its analysis options include statistical tests, regression models, Bayesian analysis, numerical and graphical methods, simulations, and interactive graphics. Users can also create surveys, group results, and narrow a data set to selected records. Data can be imported from formats including .xlsx, .xls, .ods, .csv, .tsv, .txt, and .scs, as well as from text, Excel, and HTML sources. Reports can combine results with data sets, and users can share work through groups or saved interactive sessions. StatCrunch is available through web, Android, and iOS, with cloud deployment. It is integrated with MyLab Statistics, where students can work with textbook data in assignments using their MyLab credentials; separate purchase access is also available. Pearson describes a community library with tens of thousands of data sets and more than 90 statistical procedures. Tutorials cover topics such as graphs, hypothesis testing, regression, and ANOVA. The pricing model is paid.
