SigmaPlot 14.5 Designed Specifically to Meet the Needs of Scientists, Professional Researchers and Engineers With an award-winning interface and intuitive wizard technology that guides users step-by-step through the graph creation and data analysis process, SigmaPlot provides the flexibility to create compelling graphs and statistical analysis you simply can’t achieve with basic spreadsheet software. Import Statistical Analysis Macros Help Import multiple sheets Expanded model selection criteria for polynomial Enhancements to polar plots from the Improved search in Help from Excel files. regression, new assumption checking criteria and Polar and Parametric Equations macro. The system. table formatting for correlation tests, numerical Histogram Plus Kernel Density macro added and graph results added to contingency tables to Toolbox Transforms System Memory Add Value Symbols New functions in the Transform Language for Status bar shows remaining memory Value symbols can now be easily added to symbol matrix computations. Transform Samples file and bar graphs update with new transforms for orthogonal Histograms regression, regression with equality constraints, User Interface Improvements Passing-Bablok regression, and chi-square Scaling options for counts and options for either goodness-of-fit test for category data. left-edge or right-edge binning are available for Plots can be deleted from Graph Properties, the histograms from the Histogram Wizard and from Add Axis default has been changed to the Y Axis, statistical procedures. Align Objects is now available from the right mouse Subsections In Notebooks menu, and mini-toolbars have been improved Notebooks expanded to include one or more Smoothers when drawing arrows subsections under each section to better organize Reports available for 2D and 3D Smoothers to save content. Statistical Graphs settings for future reference. New statistical graphs in the Create Graph Wizard to visually compare datasets. These include Quantile-Quantile plots, Confidence and Prediction Ellipses, and Jitter plots.
