Additonal Packages

GrafProg -- a Windows graphing program design, copy and save graphs generated by functions or by spreadsheet; also includes some statistical graphing processes.

StudioLine Photo Basic -- Photo editing software from H&M Software. Add descriptions to images, re-size photos for efficient e-mail transmission, print high-quality copies, display slide-shows, publish web-galleries, safe-keep images on CD or DVD. Version 2.2 has a new user interface, dual-monitor support, increased speed and other technical improvements. SmartUpdate feature checks for new versions. Has a web-board for user-to-user help.

WAFO -- Wave Analysis for Fatigue and Oceanography. A toolbox of Matlab (ver. 5.x / 6.x, for Windows & Unix) routines for statistical analysis and simulation of random waves and random loads. Tools are provided for analysis of measured data with routines for estimation of parameters in statistical distributions, estimation of spectra, plotting in probability papers, etc. Has routines for theoretical distributions of characteristic wave parameters from observed or theoretical power spectra of the sea. Another part is related to statistical analysis of fatigue. The theoretical density of rainflow cycles can be computed from parameters of random loads. Has routines is included for modelling of switching loads (hidden Markov models). Also contains general statistical tools.

Sampling SIM: Downloadable program (for Mac or Windows) to explore sampling distributions of sample means and proportions. It provides separate windows for building population distributions, drawing and viewing random samples from the population, exploring the behavior of sampling distributions of sample means, and exploring the behavior of confidence intervals.

First Bayes -- a free, easy-to-use Windows application for elementary Bayesian Statistics. Performs most standard, elementary Bayesian analyses, including: plotting and summarizing distributions, defining and examining arbitrary mixtures of distributions, analysis of two kinds of linear model (one or more normal samples with common but unknown variance, and simple linear regression), examination of marginal distributions for arbitrary linear combinations of the location parameters, and the generation of predictive distributions.

IND -- Creation and manipulation of decision trees from data.  For supervised classification and prediction in artificial intelligence and statistical pattern recognition. A tree is "grown" from data using a recursive partitioning algorithm to create a tree which (hopefully) has good prediction of classes on new data. IND improves on standard algorithms and introduces Bayesian and MML methods, producing more accurate class probability estimates that are important in applications like diagnosis. For UNIX systems. Currently available only in beta-test mode, and only to US citizens.

MANET -- ("Missings Are Now Equally Treated") Macintosh software for interactive graphics tools for data sets with missing values. Generates missing values chart, histograms & barcharts, boxplots & dotplots, scatterplots, mosaic plots, polygon plots, highlighted boxplots, interactive trellis displays, traces, context-sensitive interrogation, cues, redframing, selection sequences.

Text-Stat -- Free Windows program that analyzes ASCI/ANSI texts and HTML files (directly from the internet) and produces word frequency lists and "concordances" (sorted key-word-in-context listings). Can traverse an entire web site, acquiring pages for analysis.

DeltaStat -- performs statistical calculations on data from 2D gel experiments quantified in Delta2D. Makes use of R and MySQL to perform much faster than the functions provided in Delta2D. Currently provides two sample t-test, a highly configurable database query, multiple analyses per query to analyze proteins that have both higher and lower expression in control versus experimental groups, and support for experiments with variable numbers of control and experimental replicates.

Advanced Grapher (formerly called Serpik Graph) -- a very sophisticated function graphing program - can also plot tables and perform regression. A 30-day full-functioned trial version can be downloaded.

CoPlot 6.2 -- for publication-quality 2D and 3D scientific graphs (from data and equations), maps, and technical drawings. From CoHort Software. Creates precise technical drawings using drawing objects, genetic maps, field maps, flow charts, apparatus diagrams, circuit diagrams, chemical structures, etc. Text in drawing objects and graphs can include HTML-like text formatting tags and over 1000 special characters. Supports animated graphs. Exports graphs to .eps, .gif, .jpg, .pdf, .png, .svg, .wmf, and others. Has an auto-recorder and macro programming language. Invoke CoPlot from the command line, batch files, shell scripts, pipes, and other programs. Can be used as a graphics server program on a web site. Free time-limited demo version available.
