Working with consistent numbers can be a pretty difficult task, and not just when it comes to calculus. You might need to make the most out of specific sets of numbers, such as data plots or analysis. This is where jamovi comes in handy, aiming to make statistics and research go hand in hand within a practical environment.

For starters, the visual design consists of modern elements which doesn’t make accommodation that big of a deal. Most functions hide beneath larger section to cleverly make use of all interface space, while the work area is split into two sections in which you get to manage all data, as well as obtain and analyze the result.

You’re mostly working with a spreadsheet, which is the core of all your analysis. Values can be added manually into each cell, or you can import existing values from multiple types of files. However, advanced cell configurations and functions are not included, so you’re not able to import sophisticated spreadsheets.

Cell information can be customized to get a better chance of correctly filling in all analysis fields. Double-clicking column headers lets you choose the type values to display, with options for continuous, ordinal, nominal, and nominal text.

There are several types of operations to explore. Each comes with at least a couple of modes, found in major categories like exploration, T-tests, ANOVA, regression, and frequencies. Once you decide, a particular set of functions shows up in the edit area, which help you define the new calculus.

Everything is mostly done automatically, at least in terms of calculus. Result is displayed in real-time, and all generated data is kept in the result sheet until discarded. You can switch to a developer mode to better analyze the R syntax used to reach the results. The sheet can be saved to file as a whole, or by individual elements.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that jamovi is on its way to becoming a professional way of dealing with large quantities of numbers and generating statistics. The interface immediately welcomes you, and the variety of tests makes sure you get accurate data.
