Statistical package
A
statistical package is a kind of large
computer program that is specialised for
statistical analysis. It enables people not skilled in programming to obtain the results of standard statistical procedures and
statistical significance tests.
Examples of statistical packages include (in alphabetical order):
- GenStat
- Macanova
- Minitab
- SAS
- SPSS
- StatView
- Systat
Almost all these are now also the titles of the
software companies that produce them (and usually other software as well).
