Free statistical software

G*Power 3 is a major extension of, and improvement over, G*Power 2. It covers statistical power analyses for many different statistical tests of the
  • F test,
  • t test,
  • χ2-test and
  • z test families and some
  • exact tests.
G*Power 3 offers five different types of statistical power analysis:
  • A priori (sample size N is computed as a function of power level 1-β, significance level α, and the to-be-detected population effect size)
  • Compromise (both α and 1-β are computed as functions of effect size, N, and an error probability ratio q = β/α)
  • Criterion (α and the associated decision criterion are computed as a function of 1-β, the effect size, and N)
  • Post-hoc (1-β is computed as a function of α, the population effect size, and N)
  • Sensitivity (population effect size is computed as a function of α, 1-β, and N)
G*Power 3 provides improved effect size calculators and graphics options. It supports both a distribution-based and a design-based input mode.

G*Power 3 is available for Mac OS X 10.4 and Windows XP/Vista. G*Power 3 is free.
