SPSS-PASW

SPSS is developed and sold by SPSS-PASW Inc. SPSS-PASW is a powerful statistical package with an integrated syntax language. The Windows version of SPSS-PASW features a point-and-click spreadsheet like interface which permits the user to perform tasks without writing any syntax code. This makes SPSS-PASW an excellent choice for casual or new users while the syntax language provides the level of access desired by more advanced users.

The W. P. Carey School of Business licenses a network version of SPSS-PASW for use by faculty and in labs/classrooms with Conjoint Analysis. In addition, departments and individual faculty members have access to a university license, however, this license does not have Conjoint Analysis.  It is available on https://myapps.asu.edu.
