Abstract:

Statistical analysis programs have an indispensible role in the research process and more specifically in data analysis. Over the time, many such programs have surfaced and the contemporary researcher has always been bogged down by the cloud of indecisiveness when it comes to choose a Statistical analysis program for their research. This paper aims to take a detailed feature based study of currently available statistical analysis programs like SPSS and SYSTAT from the perspective of users who analyze surveyed data. It describes the programs’ strengths, weaknesses and hardware demands.
