First, the development companies are different.
1, matlab: It is a commercial mathematical software produced by MathWorks Company in the United States. It is an advanced technical computing language and interactive environment for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis and numerical calculation, mainly including MATLAB and Simulink.
2.spss: A series of software products and related services for IBM, which are used for statistical analysis, data mining, predictive analysis and decision support tasks. There are Windows and Mac OS X versions.
Second, the characteristics are different.
1, matlab: It has complete graphics processing function and realizes the visualization of calculation results and programming; Efficient numerical calculation and symbolic calculation functions can liberate users from complex mathematical operation analysis; Multifunctional application toolbox (such as signal processing toolbox and communication toolbox) provides users with a large number of convenient and practical processing tools.
2.spss: It is the earliest statistical software that uses graphical menu-driven interface in the world. Its most prominent feature is extremely friendly operation interface and beautiful output results.
Third, the function is different.
1, matlab: You can perform matrix operations, draw functions and data, realize algorithms, create user interfaces, and connect programs in other programming languages. It is mainly used in engineering calculation, control design, signal processing and communication, image processing, signal detection, financial modeling design and analysis.
2.spss: The basic functions include data management, statistical analysis, chart analysis and output management. The statistical analysis process of SPSS includes descriptive statistics, mean comparison, general linear model, correlation analysis, regression analysis, logarithmic linear model, cluster analysis and data simplification.
