GenStat for Bioscience

It's always important to focus on your strengths and excel at what you do best.
That's why, at VSNi, we focus on biosciences. Our products are unlike some data analysis software, developed and targeted within different branches of science or unrelated fields, and then latterly 'shoe-horned' into other areas.

Originally developed at Rothamsted, GenStat has remained close, and in the case of agriculture and agribusiness especially, is inextricably linked to biosciences. Our commitment to bioscience has never changed, and it will always be that way.

Why GenStat?

We believe in promoting good statistical practice:

all standard analyses accessible by menus
advanced menus build on the concepts in the simple ones
general algorithms – provide the right analysis not the least inappropriate
context-sensitive help
all documentation is available on-line
full audit trail (recorded in the Input Log)
output directly exportable into reports, scientific papers or web pages

We encourage innovation:

You can write programs in the command language to develop new ideas
As you become more proficient - you can incorporate your own code
Programs can be formed into procedures (i.e. new commands) and distributed in libraries for automatic access by anyone

We promote and incorporate new ideas:

By our consistent commitment to, and delivery of, annual releases
Continuous development of the standard procedure library including refereed user contributions
Staying close to our users, and listening to what they say - and more importantly, need.
