I use Systat and Statistica, both of which run in classic. Unfortunately, neither program has been updated in years for the Mac (new Windows versions are available). I particularly like the way Systat operates except for the klunky data module (fixed in Windows of course), but I don't know if you can even buy it now (SPSS now owns them). A colleague uses JMP as is very happy with it. There is an OS X version for it and a demo, which can be downloaded from here.

I've used a number of programmes, including systat (there was a version back in 95 or so that I loved, great for entry and "cleaning" the data of human error).
For sheer power, SPSS is the cat's meow.
I had to learn SPSS 6.1 "under fire". Systat did not have enough power for the cross-tabs that were needed.
Back "then", I would enter the 1500 or so records, each with 50-75 observation. Push the button, and go home for the night. All that cranking away on a 25Mhz 040 machine.

I was using the Mac version of SPSS in those days, too. When the situation called for serious number-crunching, though, I had access to another computer, an Amdahl 6360 mainframe, which also used SPSS. Nowadays, I'll bet that my humble G4 has more number-crunching power than that ol' mainframe. Times change!

I'm probably going to need stats for a research project that I'm planning to do for school. I am looking for potential programs that I could use for my new mac.
Linear Mode
