About PSPP

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

Statisticians, students, and scientists find it an ideal tool for convenient and fast sample data analysis.

Further information can be found at the PSPP web site.

Installers

The installers below are created through MacPorts. I worked with the PSPP developers to fix any Mac-specific issues, ensuring PSPP runs just as well on Mac OS X as any other platform.
