Data Analysis Tools

IBM SPSS Statistics allows you to explore your data, formulate hypotheses, make statistical analysis, to clarify relationships between variables, create clusters, identify trends and make predictions. Access to this software is available on all Academic Technology computers (including the public computers in all UF libraries).

SPSS free training workshops may be provided by e-Learning Support Services. Those interested should contact Dr. Silva-Lugo.

 SAS Statistics software provides a wide range of analytical capabilities, from traditional analysis of variance to exact methods and statistical visualization techniques. SAS also offers an interactive matrix programming language and exploratory data analysis with integration to R. Access to this software is available on all Academic Technology computers (including the public computers in all UF libraries).

Additional statistical consulting is available through the Statistics Department, the IFAS Consulting Unit, or the Biostatistical Consulting Lab
