  • Overview
  • Features and Benefits

IBM® SPSS® Exact Tests gives you what's needed to more accurately work with small samples and analyze rare occurrences in large datasets.

IBM SPSS Exact Tests enables you to use small samples and still feel confident about the results. With the money saved using smaller sample sizes, you can conduct surveys or test direct marketing programs more often. Stay ahead of the competition by using these resources to find new opportunities.

Easily Interpret and Apply Exact Tests

IBM SPSS Exact Tests is easy to use. You can perform a test any time, with just a click of a button – during your original analysis or when you rerun it. With IBM SPSS Exact Tests, there is no steep learning curve, because you don't need to learn any new statistical theories or procedures. You simply interpret the exact tests results the same way you already interpret the results in IBM SPSS Statistics Base.

You'll always have the right statistical test for your data situation. IBM SPSS Exact Tests provides more than 30 exact tests, which cover the entire spectrum of nonparametric and categorical data problems for small or large datasets. These tests include one-sample, two-sample and K-sample tests on independent or related samples, goodness-of-fit tests, tests of independence in RxC contingency tables and on measures of association.

And, with the release of IBM SPSS Statistics 19, both the client and server versions of IBM SPSS Exact Tests are available on Mac® and Linux®, as well as on Windows® operating systems.
