|---|---|---|
| Deployment | desktop | desktop |
| Free plan | No | Yes |
| License | SPSS Statistics is distributed under IBM license agreements such as the IBM Customer Agreement or International Program License Agreement rather than an open-source license. | RxInfer.jl is an MIT-licensed open-source project. |
| Purpose | IBM describes SPSS Statistics as a statistical analysis platform for extracting insights from data using statistical testing, predictive modeling, regression, forecasting, data preparation and automated analysis. | RxInfer.jl is a Julia package for Bayesian inference on factor graphs using reactive message passing. |
| Python integration | IBM supplies a Python integration plug-in with access to SPSS data, dictionaries, procedures, output and user-interface objects. | A separate, third-party RxInferServer.jl REST API and RxInferClient.py SDK provide a way to use RxInfer from Python; the core team says these projects are unmaintained by it. |
