Software

edit

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

edit

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

edit

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]
