Expeimental Design

General Packages: 
  Bayes Linear Programming Language - Free interactive programming language for Windows, allowinga priori and diagnostic analyses of Bayes linear statistical problems. Free
  BUGS - Bayesian inference Using Gibbs Sampling; UNIX, DOS and Windows, freely downloadable on the Web. Free
  Dataplot - Linux, PC-DOS, Windows for scientific visualization, statistical analysis, and non-linear modeling. Has extensive mathematical and graphical capabilities.  Free
  G-Power - Shareware for power calculations.
  HLM - This hierarchical linear model package is used for nested or multilevel models. The student version contains all of the functionality of the professional edition, but is limited in the number of observations.  Free
  LISREL - The student version has the capability to conduct multilevel analysis for two- and three-level models, two-stage least squares estimation, principal component analysis, and exploratory factor analysis. It handles up to 12 observed variables.  Free
  MacAnova - Is a free, noncommercial, interactive statistical analysis program for Windows 95/98/NT, Windows 3.1 with Win32s, Macintosh and Unix written by Gary W. Oehlert and Christopher Bingham, both of the School of Statistics, University of Minnesota. Free
  MX - Here's a structural equation modeling program. Amazingly enough, it appears to be freeware. The authors do ask for a small contribution to handle the duplicating costs if you order a manual to go along with the downloadable software.  Free
  Regress+ - A Macintosh only package for univariate mathematical modeling (equations and distributions). The most powerful software of its kind available anywhere, with state-of-the-art functionality and user-friendliness. Free
  SISA - Simple Interactive Statistical Analysis for PC (DOS) from Daan Uitenbroek. An excellent collection of individual DOS modules for several statistical calculations, including some analyses not readily available elsewhere. Free
  SPM - Statistical Parametric Mapping, free software for functional brain mapping analysis techniques. Free
  Statistical Software  - A large collection of executable DOS programs (and Fortran source). Includes: Matrix occupancy, exact g-sample empirical coverage test, interactions of exact analyses, spectral decomposition analysis, exact mrbp (randomized block) analyses, exact multi-response permutation procedure etc. Free
  STREAMS - This is structural equation modeling software can also be used as a pre-processor to LISREL, AMOS, EQS, M-Plus, and Mx. Multilevel Modeling.  Demo
  ViSta - A Visual Statistics program for Win3.1, Win 95/NT, Mac and Unix. Free
  WebStat - A Java-based statistical computing environment for the World Wide Web. Needs a browser, but can be downloaded and run offline. Free
  WebQ - WebQ is a JavaScript application for Q-sorting questionnaire items online. Q-sorting can be characterized as a process whereby a subject models his or her point of view by rank-ordering items into 'piles' along a continuum defined by a certain instruction (McKeown & Thomas, 1988, p. 30). Demo Available.
  WinIDAMS 1.0 for 32-bit Windows Operating System. Released by UNESCO - WinIDAMS is a freeware software package for numerical information processing and statistical analysis. It provides a complete set of data manipulation and validation facilities and a wide range of classical and
advanced statistical techniques, including interactive construction of multidimensional tables, graphical exploration of data and time series analysis. Freeware
