Statistical and Mathematical Software

Information on where and how to access statistical and mathematical software.

Welcome!

This Library guide provides links to statistical and mathematical software available to students, staff and researchers at the University of Melbourne. 

Links for each of the resources will take you to the Student Software page which will provide further information about access and availability of the software.

 

Key Mathematical and Statistical Software Platforms

Genstat

Genstat is a statistical analysis with data analysis capabilities, including linear and nonlinear regression, generalised linear models, generalised additive models, generalised linear mixed models and hierarchical generalised linear models.

MATLAB

MATLAB is a programming and numeric computing platform for engineering and scientific applications like data analysis, signal and image processing, control systems, wireless communications, and robotics. MATLAB includes a programming language, interactive apps, highly specialised libraries, and tools for automatically generating embedded code.

Minitab

A comprehensive platform for statistical analysis, capable of handling various tasks from basic descriptive statistics to complex modeling and prediction. It's widely used for data analysis, statistical modeling, and quality improvement initiatives, often in fields like manufacturing, healthcare, and education. 

NVivo

NVivo is qualitative data analysis (QDA) software designed to help researchers organise, analyse, and find insights in unstructured data like interview transcripts, survey responses, and other text, image, audio, and video data. It's a tool for managing, analysing, and visualising qualitative data to reveal patterns and themes.

SAS

A software suite used for data management, business intelligence, and predictive analysis,  statistical analysis, data mining, and application development, with a programming language that allows users to write code for analyses, reporting, and visualisations.

IBM SPSS Statistics

A statistical analysis software suite used for managing, analysing, and visualising data. It is widely used in various fields like social sciences, healthcare, and market research.

Stata

Stata is a statistical software package used for data analysis, data management, and creating graphics. It's widely used in fields such as economics, sociology, and epidemiology, offering capabilities for data manipulation, statistical analysis and regression.
