SPSS is popular data analysis software. It can do all the commonly used
calculations in statistics, both descriptive statistics and inferential
statistics. It also has lots of other useful functions. For example,
data conversion can convert data into different formats for differenct
statistic software, such text format and excel format. The function
of graphs can output statistic tables, charts and graphs to give more
direct and comprehensible statistic information. On the website, there
are lots of manuals and application demos of data analysis software.
http://www.sas.com
SAS consists of a series of powerful data analysis software. It is more
powerful and thus more complicate than SPSS, because SAS has the function
of programming. Users can define their own variables, parameters and
functions when conducting data analysis. But there are only some introductions
about SAS utilization, not much useful information. To have deeper understanding
of this powerful data analysis tool, you can take their training courses
(which are very expensive to me).
http://stommel.tamu.edu/~baum/ocean_graphics.html
Lots of data analysis software and data sets. There are links to data
analysis package, listed in alphabetical order. There are links to some
very interesting data visualization tools, such as Dataplot, Lassptools,
