‘JASP: A Fresh Way to do Statistics’
In this presentation I will describe the ongoing software project
JASP (http://jasp-stats.org/). The goal of JASP is twofold: first, to
provide a free, open-source, user-friendly implementation of standard
inference tools such as ANOVA and regression; second, to provide
Bayesian inference methods as an additional option alongside the
classical frequentist methods. I will describe the rationale behind
JASP, its current status, and the future developments. Our end-goal is
to replace SPSS as the preferred statistical software program for
students and researchers.
