PSPP: a good *free* alternative to SPSS

For my thesis, I had to do some statictical analysis. Since SPSS was not available for me and I do not prefer to install some time bombed demo version, I looked for a free alternative.


PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data. It is a *free* replacement for the proprietary program SPSS, and appears very similar to it with a few exceptions.


The most important of these exceptions are, that there are no “time bombs”; your copy of PSPP will not “expire” or deliberately stop working in the future. Neither are there any artificial limits on the number of cases or variables which you can use. There are no additional packages to purchase in order to get “advanced” functions; all functionality that PSPP currently supports is in the core package.

Random thought: "This may take a few minutes"

"This may take a few minutes" is the way in which a programmer tells the end user that he has done something stupid.
