MicrOsiris is a comprehensive statistical and data management package for Windows developed by Van Eck Software and freely distributed. Derived from OSIRIS IV, a statistical and data management package developed and used at the University of Michigan, MicrOsiris includes special techniques for data mining (SEARCH) and analysis of nominal- and ordinal-scaled data (MNA, MCA) and an interface to IVEware.
The MicrOsiris IVEware interface command, IVEWARE, invokes the Srcware version of IVEware (installed with MicrOsiris) that can:
1.
Perform single or multiple imputations of missing values using the Sequential Regression Imputation Method.
2.
Perform a variety of descriptive and model based analyses accounting for such complex design features as clustering, stratification and weighting.
3.
Perform multiple imputation analyses for both descriptive and model-based survey statistics.
4.
Returns an imputed data set for further analysis in MicrOsiris.
MicrOsiris accepts data from SPSS, SAS, STATA, and Excel as well as from other sources, including UNESCO IDAMS datasets and older OSIRIS datasets from ICPSR.
MicrOsiris requires less than 12MB on disk (32-bit version)--including manual, sample data files, IVEware, and Statistical Decision Tree, and loads in less than 2MB of Memory (additional memory allocated as needed depending on the number of variables used).
It will run under a Windows virtual machine on a Mac and on Ubunto/Linux under Wine.
