Comparison of analyses available in SPSS and jamovi

SPSS (version 27)

jamovi (versjon 2.0)

SPSS_Analyze

jamovi_Analyze

Already at first glance, it becomes clear that jamovi currently has fewer features than SPSS. But:
(1) There is a (ever increasing) made available via modules (press the “+” sign in the right upper corner of the jamovi window to add them) and
(2) The features implemented already cover “standard” needs (90% of the most common analyses used in psychology).
Feel free to check out which modules are available: There is also quite a wealth of modules covering functions that are not available in SPSS but very useful (e.g., for meta-analyses; MAJOR).
If you are willing to use some R code (e.g., in conjunction with the jamovi-module Rj) then you can (most presumably) do every analysis you could imagine.

Whereas SPSS puts both methods into one procedure (FACTOR) makes jamovi a conceptual difference between Principal Component Analysis aiming at data reduction (i.e., reducing the number of dimension that are required to describe the data) and Exploratory Factor Analysis aiming at extracting underlying latent variables.
