  • Slices plot Stacked slices of a 3D response surface.

  • Boxplots (simple or 1-way or 2-way grouping)


New analyses

  • Two and a half times faster than previous version

  • Bootstrap resampling for confidence intervals or quantiles for measures of fit.

  • Variability bands for predictions and graphs based on bootstrap resampling.

  • Validation of bootstrap samples against reserved data set

  • Model | Evaluate All. -- evaluates a list of models, one at a time, and tabulates results for easy comparison)

  • Added January 2011: threshold strength statistics

  • Smarter default for "Minimum neighborhood size for estimate." Formerly, for the purpose of graphing, the default was a constant (1). In version 2 the default is based 0.5 x N*, where N* is the average neighborhood size from the model fitting phase for the selected model.

  • Option to view row numbers and column letters as in Excel.
