GUIs for Statistical Analysis
By far, the most impressive GUI I've seen (to-date) for ad-hoc statistical analysis is JASP. Not ony does it support a huge amount of modules / plugins for analysis AND interop with R, but it also is completely free and open-source!
Other notable mentions:
Program | Platform | Pricing |
---|---|---|
SPSS (aka IBM SPSS Statistics) | Desktop | Paid |
DataTab | Web | Freemium |
MedCalc | Desktop | Paid |
In addition, if you are comfortable doing some coding, Jupyter or marimo are "notebooks", a form of pseudo-GUIs, that are a good fit for many different types of analysis
Interactive Notebooks
One of the most common ways to iterate on some form of data analysis is to use a "notebook", which is a essentially a file that mixes executable code (Python, R, etc.) with presentational elements (rendered graphs, plots, HTML, etc.).
Historically, the most popular and stable option has been Jupyter, which now also can run on the web via JupyterLite. However, marimo is gaining steam as a competitor, and also offers a web version.
