StatPlus
StatPlus provides statistical and graphical analysis for finance, biostatistics, economics, healthcare, and clinical research.
What StatPlus is
StatPlus provides statistical and graphical analysis for finance, biostatistics, economics, healthcare, and clinical research. Its methods include descriptive statistics, ANOVA, multivariate and nonparametric analysis, regression, time series, and survival analysis. Statistical tests and regression models are supported, while scripting and Bayesian analysis are not. The Windows standalone edition reads text, Excel XLS/XLSX, and SPSS documents and includes the StatFi Excel add-in. StatPlus:mac works with Microsoft Excel for Mac and Apple Numbers; version 7 also includes a standalone spreadsheet that runs without either application. That spreadsheet supports Excel, OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc ODS, and text documents. The Mac app works offline except for optional auto-updates. AnalystSoft describes the license as permanent, with free major upgrades during maintenance, and offers a free StatPlus:mac LE edition. StatPlus is available on iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Listed commercial licenses are $160, paid once for Windows and $195, paid once for macOS.
