JASP World Map

JASP (Jeffreys’s Amazing Statistics Program) is a free and open-source program for statistical analysis supported by the University of Amsterdam. It is designed to be easy to use, and familiar to users of SPSS. It offers standard analysis procedures in both their classical and Bayesian form. JASP generally produces APA style results tables and plots to ease publication. It promotes open science via integration with the Open Science Framework and reproducibility by integrating the analysis settings into the results. The development of JASP is financially supported by sponsors several universities and research funds.

Analyses

JASP offers frequentist inference and Bayesian inference on the same statistical models. Frequentist inference uses p-values and confidence intervals to control error rates in the limit of infinite perfect replications. Bayesian inference uses credible intervals and Bayes factors to estimate credible parameter values and model evidence given the available data and prior knowledge.

The following analyses are available in JASP in comparison to SPSS:

Other features

* R syntax editing and highlighting.
* Plot and formula (LaTeX) editing.
* Exports results as PDF or HTML and tables as LaTeX format.; plots as PNG, PPTX (Powerpoint) etc.
* Imports Excel and SPSS files, comma-separated files etc. (.xls, xlsx, .csv, .txt, .tsv, .ods, .dta, .sav, .zsav, .por, .sas7bdat, .sas7bcat, .xpt, .jasp)
* Connects to SQL data bases and the Open Science Framework.
*Data filtering: Use either R code or a drag-and-drop GUI to select cases of interest.
*Full data editing with one-click recoding; full undo / redo functionality,
*Compute columns via R code (e.g. via row-wise functions like rowMean, rowMeanNaRm, rowSum, rowSD ...) or a drag-and-drop GUI to create new variables or compute them from existing ones.
*Empty values settings per variable, per data set or globally.
*Assumption checks via export and then plotting of residuals and/or per analyses via tests and plots ( Levene's, Brown-Forsythe, Shapiro–Wilk, Q–Q, Raincloud etc.)

Modules

JASP features seven common modules that are enabled by default:
# Descriptives: Explore the data with tables and plots.
# T-Tests: Evaluate the difference between two means.
# ANOVA: Evaluate the difference between multiple means.
# Mixed Models: Evaluate the difference between multiple means with random effects.
# Regression: Evaluate the association between variables.
# Frequencies: Analyses for count data.
# Factor: Explore hidden structure in the data.

JASP also features multiple additional modules that can be activated via the module menu:
# Acceptance Sampling: Methods for acceptance sampling and a quality control setting.
# Audit: Statistical methods for auditing. The audit module offers planning, selection and evaluation of statistical audit samples, methods for data auditing (e.g., Benford’s law) and algorithm auditing (e.g., model fairness).
# Bain: Bayesian informative hypotheses evaluation for t-tests, ANOVA, ANCOVA, linear regression and structural equation modeling.
# BSTS: Bayesian take on linear Gaussian state space models suitable for time series analysis.
# Circular Statistics: Basic methods for directional data.
# Cochrane meta-analyses: Analyse Cochrane medical datasets.
# Distributions: Visualise probability distributions and fit them to data.
# Equivalence T-Tests: Test the difference between two means with an interval-null hypothesis.
# JAGS: Implement Bayesian models with the JAGS program for Markov chain Monte Carlo.
# Learn Bayes: Learn Bayesian statistics with simple examples and supporting text.
# Learn Stats: Learn classical statistics with simple examples and supporting text.
#Machine Learning: Explore the relation between variables using data-driven methods for supervised learning and unsupervised learning. The module contains 19 analyses for regression, classification and clustering:
