JASP · Amsterdam, Netherlands
What it is
JASP is free desktop statistical software for conducting analyses through a graphical interface instead of programming. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provides standard procedures in both frequentist and Bayesian forms. Its modules cover descriptives, t-tests, ANOVA, regression, meta-analysis, machine learning, structural equation modeling, survival, and time series. The spreadsheet-style interface uses drag-and-drop controls, and results update when analysis options change. JASP can produce APA-formatted output, including tables that can be copied into a word processor, and lets users annotate results. It is integrated with the Open Science Framework and can run without an internet connection. Supported imports include CSV, TSV, SPSS, SAS, Excel, Stata, and R data formats, among others. JASP is released under the GNU Affero GPL v3 license, and its download page says the software will always be free. It requires a 64-bit operating system, about 4 GB of free disk space, and at least 4 GB of RAM; 8 GB is recommended, with 16 GB or more suggested for large datasets. Android, iOS, and iPadOS devices are not supported.
