SPSS (under construction !)

IBM SPSS Statistics is a program for statistical data analysis and has been developed since 1968 by SPSS Inc. (today IBM). The original name was “Statistical Package for the Social Sciences”. The program has a user-friendly graphical interface and contains the common methods of data analysis as well as several systems for the graphical representation of statistical data and characteristics.

The universities of the states of Lower Saxony and Bremen have joined together to form a consortium, led by the GWDG, in order to conclude a state framework agreement via the company Nexway (formerly Asknet AG), which regulates the purchase and use of the licenses of IBM Deutschland GmbH
