Complex statistical analyses made easy

GenStat Discovery Edition - a free version of GenStat for use by not-for-profit research organisations, charities and educational institutes based in the developing world. Click here for details.

GenStat is a comprehensive statistics system which offers ease-of-use for the novice user through a Windows menu interface, or power and flexibility for the more experienced user through a powerful command language interface.

One of the main strengths of GenStat is the vast range of statistical techniques available which have been tested time and again by practicing statisticians, across many applications and disciplines. Including:

• basic statistics
• design and analysis of designed experiments
• analysis of linear and generalized linear mixed models
• microarray analysis
• regression (linear, nonlinear and generalized linear)
• hierarchical generalised linear models
• spatial analysis
• multivariate analysis techniques
• time series
• statistical process control methods
• survival analysis
• sample size calculations and resampling methods

Originally conceived and developed at the Rothamsted Experimental Station (RRES), where many of the statistical techniques still in use today were first discovered, GenStat has a 30 year pedigree and is used in the most demanding real-life applications today.

The current version of the software is GenStat for Windows 10th Edition.

The GenStat system has something to offer everyone who use statistics especially in the following areas:

• scientific research
• financial statistics
• engineering
• social sciences
• statistical education
• medical statistics
• pharmaceutical experiments
• agricultural experiments

Use GenStat to:

• Manage data, entered by GenStat’s own spreadsheet or imported from other systems, including spreadsheets, databases and other statistical packages;
• Illustrate data with graphics such as histograms, boxplots, scatter plots, line graphs, trellis plots, contour and 3-dimensional surface plots;
• Summarise and compare data with tabular reports, fitted distributions, and standard tests, such as t-tests, X²-tests and various non parametric tests;
• Transform data using a general calculation facility with a wide range of mathematical and statistical functions;
• Model relationships between variables by linear or nonlinear regression, generalised linear models, generalised additive models, generalized linear mixed models or hierarchical generalised linear models;
• Design and analyse experiments, from one-way analysis of variance to complex multi-stratum designs, using a balanced-ANOVA or a REML approach (including the modelling of correlation structures);
• Identify patterns in data by means of multivariate techniques such as canonical variates analysis, principal components analysis, principal coordinates analysis, correspondence analysis, partial least squares, classification trees and cluster analysis;
• Analyse results from stratified or from unstructured surveys;
• Plot control charts, print Pareto tables and calculate capability statistics;
• Analyse time series, using Box-Jenkins models or spectral analysis;
• Analyse repeated measurements, by analysis of variance, or using ante-dependence structure, or by modelling the correlation over time;
• Analyse spatial patterns, using Kriging or spatial point processes.

The list of available analyses keeps expanding all the time through regular product updates as well as additions to the Procedure Library extension pack which is included as a standard part of the package and contains contributions from many GenStat users worldwide. And if you need to add your own techniques and models - no problem: the powerful language underpinning GenStat gives you the tools to expand and develop the functionality virtually without limits.

Sharing and analysing all forms of data

In many scientific projects collaboration is everything! GenStat makes this easy by enabling you to share your data with colleagues in a format to suit you. GenStat's in-built spreadsheet accepts data from simple cut-and-paste operations or you can read and write data directly in a variety of formats:

• Spreadsheets: Excel, Lotus - including via a dynamic two-way DDE data link
• Statistics software: S-Plus, SAS, SPSS, Systat, Minitab, Stata, Mstat, Instat, Epi-Info, Statistica
• Mathematics software: Gauss, Matlab
• Databases: Quattro, dBase and Paradox - and others such as MS-Access and FoxPro through the ODBC data link
• ASCII free and fixed formats

And of course, the output from the command language engine which runs in the background can be very easily shared in text form with other GenStat users. The commands are also saved to provide an audit trail of your analyses, which you can use to record your activities (e.g. for regulators) - or to recreate your analyses in a later run.
