VSN International has released the 8th edition of its Genstat statistical analysis software.
VSN International has released the 8th edition of its Genstat statistical analysis software.
Statistical analysis can be a daunting task but GenStat 8 for Windows makes it very straightforward, for nonspecialists as well as for specialist statisticians, through its clear and comprehensive menu interface.
It's a flexible and convenient statistical system that allows users to summarise, analyse and display data in a variety of attractive and informative ways.
GenStat has a pedigree going back more than 30 years and is used by scientists, researchers, analysts, academics and educators in more than 80 countries around the world.
Its great strength comes from having been designed by statisticians - GenStat menus have a consistent "analyse - check assumptions - save details" approach throughout to help users think logically and interactively about their data analysis.
In this way, the software promotes good statistical practice.
And unlike many other statistics systems, which are sold in modules, GenStat is a "complete" package that can work in a wide range of industrial or academic applications.
There are no extra costs for specialist modules or addon packages.
GenStat lets users manage and illustrate all forms of data with graphics such as histograms, box plots, scatter plots, line graphs, trellis plots, contour and three-dimensional surface plots.
It provides the tools to summarise and compare data using tabular reports, fitted distributions, and standard tests and then transform data using a general calculation facility with a wide range of mathematical and statistical functions.
GenStat leads the way when it comes to testing relationships between variables using a wide array of linear, generalised linear or nonlinear regression models and identifying patterns in data by means of multivariate techniques.
GenStat also provides a range of accurate tools for time series analysis (Box-Jenkins models or spectral analysis), variance analysis and spatial patterns analysis (using Kriging or spatial point processes).
And now the new release offers powerful additions to Genstat's range of statistical techniques together with an abundance of usability enhancements, such as formatted output, micro array menus, sample sizing, customisable menus, Co-kriging, interactive feedback and much more.
"We are pleased to announce the release of GenStat 8th Edition, another accomplished upgrade to our already outstanding software", says Professor Roger Payne, Chief Science and Technology Officer of VSN International.
"VSN's continued endeavours to fulfil our customers' requirements whilst remaining at the pinnacle of statistical innovation have clearly paid off, as is apparent with the 8th Edition".
Originally developed at the Rothamsted Experimental Station, GenStat has been at the cutting edge of statistical analysis for more than 30 years.
GenStat for Windows 8th Edition includes a number of significant enhancements, many of which will be particularly beneficial to researchers, scientists and educators working in a wide range of scientific disciplines.
"We are extremely pleased with the accomplishments of the 8th Edition", continues Professor Payne.
"This truly is one of the defining chapters for GenStat software".
Genstat is supplied and supported in the UK and Ireland by Adept Scientific.
