StatCrunch is a web-based statistics system that provides the full workflow including data collection, analyses and presentation of results. It was developed by Webster West, a statistics professor at North Carolina State University. The software has been designed for educational purposes and in fact access is typically via textbook purchase although six months of access can be purchased for $12 and 12 months for $23.
Here is a list of statistical features of StatCrunch. Looking at the list it is apparent that this software is lightweight, meaning that it will perform only the more basic statistical functions such as t-tests, multiple/logistic regression, ANOVA, as well as commonly used visualizations such as bar, box and scatter plots, histograms and pie charts.
I have not myself had the chance to try out StatCrunch but if you’re looking to get exposed to statistical analysis and want a dedicated tool (rather than using Microsoft Excel) that is inexpensive, then it may be worth a look.
