jamovi (thus written in all lower-case) is a free and open-source computer program for data analysis and performing statistical tests. The core developers of jamovi are Jonathon Love, Damian Dropmann, and Ravi Selker, who are developers for the JASP project. [2] jamovi is a fork of JASP. [3]

Contents

Software

jamovi is an open source graphical user interface for the R programming language. [4] It is used in statistical research, especially as a tool for ANOVA (analysis of variance) and to understand statistical inference. [5] [6] It also can be used for linear regression, [7] mixed models and Bayesian models. [8]

Data is entered into a spreadsheet interface [9] that can be imported into jamovi. If data are changed, all calculations and analyses affected by the change are automatically updated. [7] The software includes a multinomial test to determine whether observed data differs from researchers' predictions. [10]

Extendibility

jamovi comes with a basic library of statistical and graphical procedures. In addition, users can install modules from a library of community created open source add-on modules to extend the package's capabilities. [11] [12] These modules are written in the R programming language and make use of the jmv [13] and jmvtools [14] libraries to create the interface and display code. Numerous modules exist and can be accessed in the curated library within jamovi. Over 40 modules [15] have been created by the jamovi community and extend the functionality of the program. These additional analyses include agreement and reliability analyses [16] mediation models, [17] [18] meta-analysis, [15] power analysis, [19] psychometrics, [20] structural equation models, [21] survival analysis, [22] and likelihood/evidential analyses. [23] [24]

Documentation

A detailed user manual is available for jamovi. Third party learning resources are also available including free books and video tutorials in multiple languages including Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Korean, and Malayalam [25]

Free statistical software is a practical alternative to commercial packages. Many of the free to use programs aim to be similar in function to commercial packages, in that they are general statistical packages that perform a variety of statistical analyses. Many other free to use programs were designed specifically for particular functions, like factor analysis, power analysis in sample size calculations, classification and regression trees, or analysis of missing data.

JASP is a free and open-source program for statistical analysis supported by the University of Amsterdam. It is designed to be easy to use, and familiar to users of SPSS. It offers standard analysis procedures in both their classical and Bayesian form. JASP generally produces APA style results tables and plots to ease publication. It promotes open science via integration with the Open Science Framework and reproducibility by integrating the analysis settings into the results. The development of JASP is financially supported by several universities and research funds. As the JASP GUI is developed in C++ using Qt framework, some of the team left to make a notable fork which is Jamovi which has its GUI developed in JavaScript and HTML5.
