Define variable types

Define each variable's type and measurement level — scale, ordinal, or nominal — in Variable View. This information helps the SAI AI assistant recommend a suitable test.

  • Scale, ordinal, and nominal measurement levels
  • Value labels and missing-value definitions
  • The AI assistant uses this to suggest tests

Check normality

Before picking a test, open the Normality tab. The live panel automatically profiles every scale variable; with Shapiro-Wilk and Lilliefors-corrected Kolmogorov-Smirnov results, z-scores, and decision badges you instantly know whether to go parametric or non-parametric.

  • Shapiro-Wilk (3 ≤ n ≤ 5000) and SPSS-compatible Lilliefors K-S
  • Automatic Normal / Not Normal decision badges
  • Histogram, Q-Q, detrended Q-Q, and boxplot charts

Read the results

Results appear as tables you can move into your thesis or paper; you can choose between table formats, including APA 7. Significant values are highlighted automatically, and you can copy a table with one click.

  • APA-compliant output tables
  • Significance highlighting (p value)
  • Confidence intervals and effect sizes included

SPSS Syntax & R Console

Write the SPSS syntax equivalent of every analysis you run from the menus, save it, and re-run it with one click. For those who want more, the built-in R console is ready: access your data directly with R commands and write your own analysis.

  • Save and re-run analyses with SPSS syntax
  • Built-in R console: run R commands directly
  • Switch freely between menus and code

Interpret with SAI

Don't drown in statistics jargon. SAI AI explains your results in plain English — what's significant, the effect size, and how to write it up in your report.

  • Plain-language interpretation of results
  • Suggestions for writing up your report
  • Follow-up questions for deeper analysis
SAI AI — Interpretation
My t-test result came out p < .001. What does that mean?
SAI
The difference between the groups is statistically significant (t(58) = 4.21, p < .001). This means the experimental group's post-test scores are significantly higher than the control group's. With Cohen's d = 1.08, the effect size is large.

SAI AI interpretation is billed based on usage. See Pricing for details.
