Statistical Information
A selected sample of sources for statistical algorithms, source code, and data. From here you can navigate toward the broader ecosystem of statistical tools on the web. It is a work in progress. Links are organized into four categories: General Statistical Archives, Specific Statistical Programs, On-Line Statistical Processing, and Guides and General Information.

See also Tidyverse a collection of R packages for data science. Includes packages like ggplot2, dplyr, tidyr, readr, purrr, tibble, stringr, forcat, and lubridate. These packages are for reading, manipulating data, and creating data frames, as well as creating graphics.- GNU PSPP
GNU PSPP is a Free as in Freedom program for the statistical analysis of sampled data. Current version is 2.01. It is intended as a replacment for the proprietary program SPSS. It can do descriptive statistics, T-tests, ANOVA, linear and logistic regression, reliability and factor analysis. Can handle 1 billion cases and 1 billion variables. A GUI interface is available. An indexed user manual is available. In mid-2025, the project began a version based on rust code.- Autobox Home Page
Autobox is a product of Automatic Forecasting Systems, Inc. which can be used to identify and build Box-Jenkins ARIMA and Transfer function models. Models may optionally be selected automatically. Includes graphical analysis tools, automatic intervention detection, and many other features. [for Windows; commercial product]- XlispStat Information
Lisp-Stat was an extensible statistical computing environment for data analysis, statistical instruction and research, with an emphasis on providing a framework for exploring the use of dynamic graphical methods. XLISP-STAT was a version of Lisp-Stat based on a dialect of Lisp called XLISP. NOTE: Xlisp-Stat was abandoned in 1998. Below are a few links to some Xlisp-Stat resources including source code.- Xlisp-Stat source in zip and tar.gz formats

- Ωnyx
Ωnyx is a free software environment for creating and estimating structural equation models (SEM).It provides a graphical user interface that facilitates an intuitive creation of models, and a powerful back end for performing maximum likelihood estimation of parameters. Path diagrams in Ωnyx can be exported to OpenMx, lavaan, and Mplus to allow an easy transition to script-based SEM software. Also, OpenMx scripts can be transformed into a path diagrams in Ωnyx.- lavaan
lavaan is a package developed for R that does multivariate statistical models, including path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling and growth curve models.- The Estima Home Page
