MicrOsiris is a comprehensive statistical and data management package for Windows (Compare SPSS, SAS). Derived from OSIRIS IV, a statistical and data management package developed and used at the University of Michigan, MicrOsiris includes special techniques for data mining (SEARCH) and analysis of nominal- and ordinal-scaled data (MNA, MCA) and an interface to IVEware, the Michigan Survey Research Center's imputation software.
The MicrOsiris IVEware interface command, IVEWARE, invokes the Srcware version of IVEware (installed with MicrOsiris) that can:
MicrOsiris accepts data from SPSS, SAS, STATA, and Excel as well as from other sources, including UNESCO IDAMS datasets and older OSIRIS datasets from ICPSR.
MicrOsiris requires less than 20MB on disk (compare MYSTAT(220MB), SPSS(800MB), SAS(726MB))--including manual, sample data files, IVEware, and Statistical Decision Tree, and loads in less than 3MB of Memory (additional memory allocated as needed depending on the number of variables used).
It's free and it's speed and small disk footprint makes it excellent for students and student labs as well as large-scale research projects.
It will run under a Windows virtual machine on a Mac and on Ubunto/Linux under Wine.
"I found that it was the only desktop product that could reference over 800 vars and handle a record > 6,000 chars. Saved my bacon!"
