Ask HN: What’s the Best Statistics Software?

1 pointQuinzel2 comments

I’m currently using JASP which I think is good for what I currently need it for, but as I continue with my research stuff, I’m wondering if there are better options. I’m just interested and curious what other options there are. And what are the strengths/limitations of the different options? TIA

Are you looking for open source only option? If not and willing to pay then JMP is probably the best. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JMP_(statistical_software)

Orange is another one which is based on Python instead of R and free. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(software)

Personally, I find it best to use R with VS code for all my statistical need.

I’m open to paying, if the program offers value that the open source ones don’t offer.
