The Graphical Interface
by Sharon Kardia

ProStat

From Poly Software
Version 1.6 for Windows

This small statistical and graphical package was developed by Poly Software to do basic spreadsheet data analysis and graphics. It is simple and straightfoward in its style.

UNIQUE GRAPHICS FEATURES: There is nothing particularly unique about the graphics options in ProStat.

STRENGTHS: ProStat has very good customizing features for the graphics it produces. It also has easily accessible quality-control chart options.

WEAKNESSES: ProStat is very limited. It is not really set up for extensive statistical and graphical analysis of data.

LIKELY USERS: ProStat is for people who need a basic package for basic analyses and basic graphics. Like Excel and Origin, it is good for simple graphical plots.
