Mac statistics software notes

Back in the 1990s, SPSS brought mainframe power to the Mac, JMP revolutionized exploratory graphics, MacANOVA made analysis fast and easy, and CricketGraph had fast, easy graphing (with near-instant polynomial curve fitting). All you needed was a little Mac with an 8 MHz processor. Things are hopping again...

We’ve seen the first Mac-based survey software in years, and the PSPP “SPSS clone” project is moving along, ever so slowly, as SPSS prices have soared.
