[PI] SYSTAT v12.02

** SYSTAT

[SYSTAT has every statistical procedure you need]

- SYSTAT is a powerful statistical software that has every statistical procedure you need to carry out efficient statistical analysis of your data. It provides you with features from the most elementary descriptive statistics to very advanced statistical methodology based on sophisticated algorithms. If you are a novice statistical user, you can work with its friendly and simple menu-dialog. If you are astatistically-savvy user, you might prefer to use its intuitive command language, and analyze your data swiftly and with ease. In either case, you can exploit its staggering range of powerful techniques to analyze many types of data to answer many types of questions. You can carry out very comprehensive analysis of univariate and multivariate data based on linear, general linear, and mixed linear models. You can carry out different types of robust regression analysis when your data are notsuitable for conventional multiple regression analysis. You can also compute partial least-squares regression. You can design experiments, carry out power analysis, do probability calculations on a whole lot of distributions and fit them to data. You can perform matrix computations. Anything else you may need---Time Series, Survival Analysis, Response Surface Optimization, Spatial Statistics, Test Item Analysis, Cluster Analysis, Classification and Regression Trees, Correspondence Analysis, Multidimensional Scaling, Conjoint Analysis, Quality Analysis, Path Analysis, etc., etc.---SYSTAT has them all.


[SYSTAT's Monte Carlo module helps you accomplish your simulation tasks]

- You can use the powerful Mersenne-Twister random number generator for your bootstrap and simulation tasks. You can exploit SYSTAT's random number generator from as many as 43 univariate and multivariate, discrete and continuous distributions for your Monte Carlo exercises. When the distributions are more complicated, use Rejection Sampling and Adaptive Rejection Sampling to draw random samples. For your complex Bayesian computations, suitably adapt SYSTAT's generic Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedures like various types of Metropolis-Hastings and Gibbs Sampling features to draw random samples and to carry outMonte Carlo integration thereof.


[SYSTAT can produce for you attractive graphs quickly and conveniently]

- SYSTAT offers a large variety of scientific and technical graphing types and a great deal of interactivity to help you produce just the right type of graph and customize it to accompany your analysis. Use the Interactive Graphics Dialog to change multiple aspects of your graphics using a single integrated dialog. Compare subgroups, overlay charts, transform coordinates, add geographic projections, change colors, symbols, and more, to create insightful presentations. Change graph locations, point-and-click to alter axis labels, scales, colors and symbols. Create unique graphs that bring out the important features in your data with advanced chart options including normal and kernel densities, multiplots, maps, Voronoi tessellations, function plots, contours, scatterplot matrices with 20 diagonal density choices and 126 nonparametric smoothing options, just to name a few. Speed up your analysis by rotating your 3-D graphs to visually determine the perfect power or log transformation to normalize your data using the Dynamic Explorer. Present visually useful and attractive summary of large data using hexagonal binning.


[With SYSTAT, you need less effort to get meaningful results]

- Save time and effort with SYSTAT's informative Startpage. Work with itsclear, comprehensive dialogs or with its interactive, intuitive, and easy-to-learn command language. You can work faster combining these two modes with the interlinked Command Line Interface and Menu-Dialog. Save time and effort with the Autocomplete facility. Ease your way through analyses with theme menus, customizable menus, and toolbars. Get more flexible output with longer variable names. Speed up your analysis using data and variable tabs. Save useful data file and variable information in the data file itself. Quickly navigate through detailed results usingthe browser-style Output Organizer. Instantly visualize your result swith automatically produced Quick Graphs. Run the same analysis with ease on different data sets using token variables and command templates. Use the command log to track and report your statistical methodology. Produce publication-quality output and graphs.


[You can customize almost any aspect of SYSTAT]

- You can reorganize almost any aspect of SYSTAT to suit your style of work and your needs. You can customize various elements of its interface. You can customize menu and toolbars to make often-used items immediately accessible. You can choose the appearance of your output in respect of fonts, width, spacing, style, etc. You can make your graphs look as you want them to in respect of color, background, pattern, surface style, line style, symbol style, and label style. You cancustomize commandspace, output organizer, keyboard shortcuts, actions of buttons, etc.

- SYSTAT gives you a variety of help to make your work smooth and easy Innumerable items of Help make the job of understanding and running SYSTAT much easier, faster, and error-free. They are available at your fingertips or at the click of the mouse. Some of them are: Tip of the Day, Bubble Help, F1 Help, Tooltips, Index, Glossary, Expanded StatusBar Help, Recent Files on Start Page, Theme Menus, Examples tab, Autocomplete, Acronym Expansions, Online Tutorial. Furthermore, there are about 600 examples available online with their command files and annotated data files, for you to study and emulate. And there are over 4300 pages of the manual available as online pdf files and in printed form.
