A complete statistical data analysis
system with hundreds of presentation-quality graphs integrated
with all procedures. Includes:
In-depth, comprehensive implementations of: Exploratory
techniques; Descriptive statistics; Frequency tables; Large selection
of nonparametric tests; Stepwise multiple regression methods with
extended diagnostics; General nonlinear estimation (with predefined
or user-specified models); Logit/Probit analysis; General implementation
of ANOVA/ANCOVA/MANOVA/MANCOVA (designs of practically unlimited
complexity, repeated, nested, incomplete, random, changing covariates,
contrast analyses, post-hoc tests, custom designs); Stepwise discriminant
function analysis; Canonical analysis; Large selection of time
series modeling techniques with forecasting; Factor analysis;
Cluster analysis (incl. hierarchical, k-means, and 2-way joining);
Reliability/Item analysis; Log-linear analysis; General survival/failure
time analysis (incl. life tables, group comparisons, and regression
models); Distribution fitting (a large selection of continuous
and discrete distributions); Curve and surface fitting and smoothing
(incl. spline, DWLS, NEXP, and others); and much more
Manual with comprehensive introductions to each method and
step-by-step examples (Quick Reference booklet explains all major
conventions); balloon help
Extensive data management facilities: a super-fast spreadsheet
of unlimited capacity with formulas (and Publish and Subscribe);
merge/split files; "double identity" of values (numeric/text);
BASIC-like data transformation programming language; Import/Export
data and graphs from Excel, STATISTICA/w and other formats
Graphs integrated with all procedures (e.g., click on a correlation
coefficient to produce the corresponding scatterplot and other
graphs; click on a variable in the descriptive statistics table
to produce a histogram and other graphs; click on an interaction
effect in the ANOVA table to see a plot of interaction)
Large selection of 2-dimensional graphs: Histograms (incl.
multiple, clustered breakdowns, overlaid functions), Scatterplots
(incl. multiple, weighted frequency, smoothed, function fitting),
Multiple line and Range plots, Trend plots, Standard deviation
plots, Data sequence diagrams, Contour plots, Box-and-whisker
plots, Column plots, Bar graphs, Double pie charts, Scrollable
dendrograms, Two-way joining plots, Curve fitting plots, Distribution
comparison plots, Range plots, Probability plots, Amalgamation
plots, Factor space plots, Casewise outlier and residual diagrams,
ANOVA interaction plots, Multivariate (multiple) matrix plots,
exploratory Draftsman plots with histograms, categorized (multiple)
graphs, and many other specialized plots
Large selection of 3-dimensional graphs: 3D surface plots
(with data smoothing procedures, color or gray-scale shading,
and projected contours), 3D scatterplots, 3D block scatterplots,
3D axis (space) plots, 3D spectral plots with adjustable planes,
3D line/ribbon plots, 3D sequence block plots, 3D histograms,
3D surface-smoothed frequency plots, and 3D range plots ("flying
boxes")
All 3D plots displayed in true perspective, feature interactive
real-time rotation facilities (incl. continuous rotation)
Extensive graph customization options: all structural aspects
of graphs (axes, scaling, patterns, colors, sizes, styles, regions,
perspective, rotation, fitted functions, etc.); MacDraw-style
tools with specialized "objects;" hi-res. graph and
artwork embedding; page layout/preview; dynamic rulers
All output displayed in Scrollsheets (dynamic, internally
scrollable tables: all numbers can be instantly converted into
a variety of on-screen customizable, presentation-quality graphs)
All contents of Scrollsheets can be saved as data and used
for input, or be exported
Flexible facilities to perform analyses on specific subsets
of data
Extremely large analysis designs
Unlimited size of files
Extended precision
Unmatched speed (e.g., on a Mac IIfx, arbitrary rotation of
a surface with 1000 points takes 1 second; correlation matrix
50x50 with 100 cases-less than 3 seconds; transposing a 5000 data
points file-less than 2 seconds)
Full support for System 7 ("savvy") incl. Publish
and Subscribe, Apple events, balloon help, "drag and
drop," 32-bit, etc.
