JASP is a very useful app that really helps researchers, especially both undergraduate and graduate students, carry out data analysis more easily. What’s even better is the book Discovering Statistics Using JASP. It’s not just an operation manual. It is a well-written statistics book that helps students without a statistics background understand the key ideas behind each analysis in JASP. The explanations are clear and the examples make it easier to follow. I found it very helpful and would recommend it to others who want to learn how to use JASP through hands-on practice.
