PSPP

Description

PSPP is a free program for statistical analysis of sampled data. It is similar to SPSS with a few exceptions. PSPP is particularly aimed at statisticians, social scientists and students requiring fast convenient analysis of sampled data.

Install Files

GNU does not distribute precompiled binaries of PSPP, but many operating systems come with them, though not always the most recent version. On the PSPP website is a list of some PSPP binaries for some operating systems. Because the PSPP developers have not prepared these binaries, they cannot in general vouch for them.

Need Help?

For technical assistance with other research software, email software@bmi.cchmc.org. For basic desktop support or assistance with clinical information systems, call the Cincinnati Children's Service Desk, 513-636-4100, or visit the Information Services CenterLink site. UC employees should call the UCit Help Desk, 513-556-HELP.

A note about UCit software

UC researchers are served with desktop software by UCIT. In many cases this software is licensed specifically to UC employees only (i.e., people who receive paychecks from UC) or must be run on UC-owned or controlled equipment, making it inaccessible to Cincinnati Children's personnel. Please make sure you read the license agreement carefully before you use UC software.

Faculty and students of UC are eligible to purchase software from UC. However, when purchasing from UC, the license agreement states that the software can be installed only on your personally owned or UC-owned computer and not on machines owned by other institutions. Since Children’s Hospital is a separate entity from UC, installing software purchased from UC on CCHMC owned computers is a violation of that license agreement. There is a difference in the price of software purchased from Biomedical Informatics at Children’s Hospital versus from the UC Bookstore. This difference is because UC qualifies for the educational discount whereas Children’s Hospital does not. Although Cincinnati Children’s Hospital is affiliated with UC, we are not a degree granting institution. We are a hospital, therefore we only qualify for the healthcare/non-profit discount.
