Statistical Software Running on Intel-Based Macs

This is only a list of the general or regression software. “Universal” means the program can run as both PowerPC and native MacTel. Updated 11-11-08. Send in any updates we don't have yet!

If you need to run an older Mac stats program on a MacTel machine, and noticed that they do not support classic, try Basilisk II, which runs OS 8.1 in emulation. Or try Aabel and SSP (SSP is free). Blue is “supposed to work in emulation.” Green is Universal. We took off some of the programs that appear to be dead.

Software shipping as a Universal Binary is in green.

DataDesk: “The current version works in emulation mode. The new version will run native. We expect it sometime this year [2007].” No update as of November 2008 and we think it’s safe to say it’s dead, especially as the Web site refers to OS X 10.1 as the newest system it will run on.

Regress+: The writers say that version 2.53 runs well under Rosetta.
SPSS 16. If you have this, make sure you’re using 16.02 — earlier versions are buggy.

Stata: starting in January 2006! How’s that for support?
