GenStat

So what exactly is GenStat?

Well, depending on who you direct the question to will depend on the answer. To some it’s a data analysis tool, to others statistical software; Indeed GenStat has been referred to “the essence of my work.”

We at VSNi like to think of GenStat as an all embracing data analysis tool offering ease of use via our comprehensive menu system reinforced with the flexibility of a sophisticated programming language. All this is available in one focussed environment that encourages prototyping and development while guiding new and less experienced users through the well planned menu and diagnostic messaging (not to mention a whole host of training and resource).

For over 30 years we have employed and continue to work with leading statisticians and scientists creating a package that can succeed for both novice and expert users in academia, research and industry.

One of the many benefits of GenStat is that it is a complete package. You can use GenStat to manage and illustrate your data, summarize and compare, model relationships, design investigations and of course analyse your experiments from the simplest of ANOVA’s right through to the most complex REML. Our comprehensive range of leading edge statistical content is continually being updated in line with both industry progression and user feedback.

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.
