Brief Description of the GenStat System
GenStat is a GENeral STATistics package developed by VSN International Ltd. 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 range of powerful statistics techniques available which have been tested time and again by practicing statisticians. The range of statistics available includes 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 generalized linear models, spatial analysis, multivariate analysis techniques, time series, statistical process control methods, survival analysis, sample size calculations and resampling methods.

GenStat for Windows
With GenStat for Windows, simple and complex analyses alike are at your finger tips with the extensive pull-down menu system. GenStat menus have a consistent ANALYSE - CHECK ASSUMPTIONS - SAVE DETAILS approach throughout to help you think logically and interactively about your data analysis. Should you wish to use the powerful GenStat command language instead of menus - no problem - simply open a new text window, write the command you need and submit them to GenStat.
Tracking your session is easy with the Audit Trail; a translation of your menu analysis into GenStat code. This can be used as proof of the steps taken in your analysis, or run at a later date as a time-saving GenStat program.
With the SAVE SESSION facility you can take a snapshot of your GenStat session at any time and restart it at a later date - no need to work back through the analysis. SAVE SESSION records all the available data in GenStat at any given point, all open menus and their associated settings, all open spread sheets and all open text windows/GenStat command programs.

The GenStat Approach
GenStat is an extremely powerful toolkit for all your statistical needs and is designed to be customizable. With GenStat you can manipulate, visually explore or analyse your data using a full range of techniques; from simple summary statistics and plots to complex nonlinear modelling.
The flexibility of GenStat allows you to use a dynamic, interactive approach to modelling, easily trying out different models and examining results. GenStat also allows you the freedom to explore new models, adapt many of the models supplied, or even develop your own.
In GenStat for Windows, data can be input directly from external spread sheets, databases and other mathematical and statistical packages. A comprehensive range of statistical analyses can be performed via the user friendly pull-down menu system.
