The Guide to GenStat® Release 10 - Part 2: Statistics
The Guide to GenStat® Release 10 - Part 2: Statistics, by the GenStat Committee (edited by R.W.
Payne). Published 2007 by VSN International, ISBN 1-904375-34-0.
This book gives a detailed description of the statistical
facilities in GenStat, reviewing the underlying methodology, explaining the
output, and describing the relevant GenStat commands. Most of the analyses
supported by GenStat can be run using the menus in GenStat for Windows.
However, the menus themselves operate by generating GenStat commands and you
can see these recorded in the Input log. So even if you are using GenStat in a
Windows environment, you may still want to examine the commands, or to save
them as an audit trail of the analyses that have been done. You may also want
to issue your own commands, in order to gain additional flexibility, to use
more specialized methods, or simply to access the desired analysis more
directly. Alternatively, you may want to develop your own methods of analysis,
using the GenStat command language as a high-level programming language.
Unlike the GenStat Reference Manual, which describes the commands one at a
time, here the information is categorized by type of analysis. The facilities
are introduced by means of examples, which illustrate the commonest analyses
and explain the output that can be obtained.
The text of this book is available online within GenStat in pdf format. It can be accessed by clicking the
Help button, then GenStat Guides,
followed by Statistics.
