StatPlus
StatPlus provides statistical analysis and graphing tools for work in finance, biostatistics, economics, healthcare, and clinical research. Its methods include descriptive statistics, ANOVA, multivariate and nonparametric analysis, regression, time series, and survival analysis. It supports statistical tests and regression models, but not scripting or Bayesian analysis. The Windows standalone version reads text, XLS, XLSX, and SPSS files and includes the StatFi Excel add-in. StatPlus:mac works with Excel for Mac and Apple Numbers; version 7 also includes a standalone spreadsheet that does not require either, and supports Excel, ODS, and text documents. The Mac app works offline, with internet access only needed for optional updates. AnalystSoft describes StatPlus:mac LE as a free edition of StatPlus:mac Professional. Platforms listed are iOS, macOS, web, and Windows, with both deployment options. Listed single-license commercial prices are $160.00 once for Windows and $195.00 once for macOS; student and academic/non-profit licenses are also listed. The maker describes the license as permanent and says major upgrades are included during the maintenance period.
