NEW FEATURES
SigmaPlot 15 New Features and Improvements
Known as the ‘Scientific Graphing Standard’, SigmaPlot 15 is the easy-to-use scientific graphing and statistical data analysis software package for scientists and engineers who need to create exact, publicationquality graphs that best communicates their research results for presentations, technical publications or the web. With advanced curve fitting, a vector-based programming language, macro capability and over 50 frequently use statistical tests, SigmaPlot has the analytical features necessary to extract the important information from your research data. Then with over 100 graph types and a user interface which allows detailed manipulation of every graph object you can create the exact graph to present your results.

SigmaPlot 15 has advisory statistical routines and enhances SigmaPlot into a complete statistical analysis and technical graphing suite. SigmaPlot’s award-winning interface and intuitive wizard technology guides users step-by-step through the graph creation and data analysis process. More than 300,000 researchers have used SigmaPlot because it provides the flexibility to create compelling graphs you simply can't get from a basic spreadsheet package. Users love the ability to interactively modify any small detail of the final graph to make it the perfect presentation of their data.



Below are some of the many new features in SigmaPlot Version 14:

  • Additional Plot Regression Statistics
  • Improved access to result graphs following statistical analysis – obtained by right clicking either a statistical report or another result graph
  • The scatter matrix graph, used to display results of some statistical tests such as correlation, has increased support from 10 variables previously up to 40 variables
  • Graph Properties can now be obtained by right clicking a graph or plot
  • Renamed the Linear Regression command in the Graph Analysis group of the Analysis tab to Plot Regression
  • Text and special symbols options are now shown directly on the symbols dialog

New Analysis Features

  • The One-Way Frequency Tables method has been added
  • The unpaired (aka 2-independent samples) t-test has been enhanced to provide options to test the equality of the populations means of the two groups without assuming equal variances (Welch’s t-test)
  • Ctrl-A now selects all program lines in user defined transforms
  • More nonlinear regression application examples have been added that can now be accessed from the Help menu
