Mac statistics software notes

Over a decade ago, 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... but still no replacement for Cricket Graph?

In other news, we’ve now seen the first Mac-based survey software in years, and we’re glad to see the PSPP “SPSS clone” project as SPSS prices have soared.
