AlbaWrite – Creates reports by asking you a series of questions (an interview). Many of these questions can be answered just by clicking options using your mouse, others only require you to complete a sentence or paragraph which AlbaWrite starts for you. At the end of an interview AlbaWrite compiles your answers into a report in your word processing package.

AM Statistical Software – Is a statistical software package for analyzing data from complex samples, especially large-scale assessments.

AMOS – Another structural equations modeling program? Yes, it’s true. This one started out as shareware and has lasted long enough to have evolved into a commercial product.

Arc Regression Software – Arc is a free, unique, menu-driven statistical analysis tool for regression problems.

AnSWR – Is a software system for coordinating and conducting large-scale, team-based analysis projects that integrate qualitative and quantitative techniques.

Assistat Software, The – Complete variance analysis (ANOVA) and it classifies the averages for the Tukey Test or for the t Test. It still counts with the U Test or Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Test (for comparison of two samples) and with the David Test (normality test). It also makes regression in the variance analysis (for quantitative treatments) and has tested of adjustment or tack of series for the Kolmogorov-Smirnov method. English and Portuguese interface.

CDC EZ-Text – I is a software program developed to assist researchers create, manage, and analyze semi-structured qualitative databases

Epi Info™ – Physicians, nurses, epidemiologists, and other public health workers lacking a background in information technology often have a need for simple tools that allow the rapid creation of data collection instruments and data analysis, visualization, and reporting using epidemiologic methods.

EQS – This package can be used for structural equations models including multiple and multivariate regression, factor analysis, and comparisons of multiple populations. Their site provides an overview of the software and its capabilities.

HLM – This software is used for hierarchical linear models also known as multilevel or random-effects models. Their site contains selected chapters from the HLM manual and numerous examples.

LISREL – A structural equation modeling package that can also be used for multilevel models, factor analysis, and two-stage least-squares estimation. Check out the extensive collection of LISREL examples and Karl’s Corner, a column on SEM topics by one of LISREL’s creators, Karl Jöreskog.

MicrOsiris – This program “is derived from OSIRIS IV, a statistical and data management package developed and used at the University of Michigan and includes special techniques for data mining and analysis of nominal- and ordinal-scaled data.
