Statgraphics Centurion XVI.II offers 4 new summary statistics, 10 new operators (8 for character data and 2 for numeric values), one-sided and two-sided statistical tolerance limits for additional distributions, enhanced normal probability plots, expanded use of the mouse wheel on graphs, and 3 features of special interest to companies regulated by the Food and Drug Administration: automatic audit trails and the ability to add user signatures and passwords to project files.
"Statgraphics XVI.II highlights the creativity of our customers as well as our programmers," according to StatPoint Technologies President Caroline Chopek. "And our customer focus led us to make this a free update for all licensed users of Statgraphics Centurion XVI or XVI.I."
A free 30-day trial is available for new users from http://www.statgraphics.com/downloads.htm.
A summary of the new features can be found at http://www.statvision.com/Version162Enhancements.pdf.
"Version XVI.II maintains Statgraphics' uncomplicated structure, its vivid interpretative images that reveal the meaning behind the data, and its unique, user friendly features, while increasing its power and applicability to a wide range of users," said Dr. Neil W. Polhemus, Chief Technology Officer of StatPoint Technologies and originator of the software. "Building on our partnership with our users, this new version adds features needed and suggested by practitioners and researchers, including numerous pharmaceutical and medical device companies."
Since its first release over 30 years ago, Statgraphics has generated graphical as well as tabular output from every one of its statistical functions - now numbering over 180. Though every competing statistical package now produces some graphical output, Statgraphics Centurion XVI.II remains unmatched in this category. With its StatGallery feature, users can compare multiple data sets or multiple views of the same data, placing graphs side by side or overlapping - creating displays of their own that the designers never thought of. Because it now accepts data from virtually every other statistical package, Statgraphics Centurion XVI.II can even be used to replace less satisfactory graphical output from other programs.
Taken together, the intuitive features of Statgraphics Centurion XVI.II are designed to make "doing statistics" easy. The software reads in the data from virtually any statistical program, spreadsheet, or database. StatWizard "looks" at the data and recommends the proper analysis. StatLink saves the analyses so that the charts change whenever the data do. StatReporter and StatPublish organize results for publication in Microsoft Word or HTML, respectively. And StatAdvisor explains the significance of the data in a short paragraph or two that users can cut and paste into their own memos and reports.
"Statgraphics Centurion XVI.II is completely menu-driven so that you don't have to remember how to 'drive' the software," Polhemus said. "Centurion XVI.II gives you the ability to perform sophisticated analyses, thereby letting your data 'speak for themselves'."
"Statgraphics quality improvements can be applied in every aspect of business operations, from Six Sigma management protocols to quality control on production lines right down to the shipping department," Chopek added. "From the boardroom to the loading dock, statistical data analytics is the way companies can reveal critical information businesses need to drive efficiencies, and Statgraphics is the tool that can easily get them there."
