a free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS.
PSPP supports T-tests, ANOVA and GLM analyses, factor analysis,
-non-parametric tests, linear and logistic regression, clustering,
+non-parametric tests, linear and logistic regression, clustering,
and other statistical features. PSPP produces statistical reports in
plain text, PDF, PostScript, CSV, HTML, SVG, and OpenDocument formats.
It can import data from OpenDocument, Gnumeric, text and SPSS formats.
documentation on PSPP's language is also included.

The long term goals for PSPP are ambitious. We wish to provide the
following support to users:
an "enhanced" mode in certain cases where PSPP can output
better results that may surprise SPSS users.
- * Friendly textual and graphical interfaces.
+ * Friendly textual and graphical interfaces.
* Good documentation. Currently the PSPP manual describes its
language completely, but we would like to add information on
constructs. We wish to improve the situation by supplying a
more complete and flexible parser generator.
- * Easy-to-use support for producing attractive output.
- Currently, output is done by writing code to explicitly fill
- in table cells with data. We should be able to supply a
- more convenient interface that also allows for providing
- machine-readable output.

* Eventually, a plug-in interface for procedures. Over the
short term, the interface between the PSPP core and
statistical procedures is evolving quickly enough that a
