Very capable, quick, and flexible

Ive been using Wizard for about a week, and it is terrific. It is carefully coded for the Mac, highly intuitive, and works instantaneously even with huge data sets. Its one of the few programs that Ive run across that uses Grand Central--the Macs built-in ability to use both CPU and graphics processor to run computations.

If youve ever tried to do simple or advanced statistics calculations in Excel, this is a revelation. Just save your Excel data in native (.xls not the new .xlsx) or tab-delimited (.csv) format and open it up in Wizard. Big data sets import quickly and Wizard provides results instantly that could take an hour or longer to setup in Excel.

Using the program (and reading the straighforward user guide) is very good education in fundamental concepts of statistics. From what Ive seen online, the author is an economist, so Wizard is designed to make a lot of applied statistics very easy to use. He made it the way he would want it to work.

All of the charts can be fully exported as pdf or png (just right click), and the colors can be edited within Wizard (if you dont like the default palette). If you need import/export to professional stats packages get Wizard Pro (right now theres no upgrade path from Wizard to Pro). The only difference between them is the added import/export formats in Pro. The standard Wizard has all the features that Pro has aside from that.

Updates and responsiveness from the developer (via the Wizard google group) have been excellent. Highly recommended for students and professionals who need a quick way to perform a wide range of standard and many advanced tests and models.
