GNU PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of data. It is a free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS, and appears very similar to it with a few exceptions.


It has the data and variable view tabs, and has a layout that is almost identical to SPSS.  Its option and output windows also look very similar to SPSS’s.
