SimStat – Análise Estatística com poderosos recursos e fáceis de usar

O SimStat vai além da mera análise estatística. Oferece recursos de gestão de resultados não encontrados em nenhum outro programa, bem como a sua própria linguagem de script para automatizar análises estatísticas e escrever pequenos aplicativos, tutoriais interativos com recursos de multimédia, assim como sistemas de entrevista assistidos por computador.

 O SimStat suporta não apenas dados numéricos e categóricos, datas e variáveis ​​alfanuméricas curtas, mas também memorandos e variáveis ​​de documento, permitindo armazenar no mesmo ficheiro de projeto respostas a perguntas abertas, transcrições de entrevistas, relatórios completos, etc. As ferramentas de pesquisa compartilham o mesmo formato de ficheiro, podem-se facilmente realizar análises estatísticas em dados numéricos e categóricos usando o SimStat, realizar codificação qualitativa em documentos armazenados utilizando o QDA Miner ou aplicar a poderosa análise de conteúdo e recursos de exploração de texto do WordStat nesses mesmos documentos. Além disso, a coexistência de dados numéricos, categóricos e textuais no mesmo ficheiro de dados oferece uma capacidade única de explorar relações entre variáveis ​​numéricas e textuais ou de comparar codificações qualitativas ou categorias de conteúdo entre subgrupos de indivíduos.

Data management features

The data window is a spreadsheet-like data editor where values can be entered, browsed, or edited.

Output management features

The Notebook window displays the statistical output for all analysis performed during a session. The notebook metaphor provides an efficient way to browse and manage outputs.

  • The text output of each analysis is displayed on a separate page.
  • Each page can be annotated or edited.
  • Empty pages can be inserted to put down ideas or remarks, sketch an analysis plan, or write down interpretation of results.
  • Tabs can be added to create sections in the notebook allowing the storage of different kinds of analysis in different sections of the notebook.
  • An index of all analysis is automatically generated. This index can be used to quickly locate and go to a specific page, move pages within the notebook, or delete some pages.
  • Rich Text notebook allows one to change font attributes (bold, underline, strikeout, italic) and font colors.
  • A highlighting tool allows to color passages of text.
  • Notebooks can be exported in Rich Text Format or in plain text.

Chart creation and management features

All high-resolution charts created during a session are displayed in the Chart window. This window can be used to view the charts and perform various operations on individual charts or on the entire collection of charts. For example, you can modify the various chart attributes, save those charts to disk, export them to another application using the clipboard or disk files, or print them. It is also possible to delete a specific chart or to modify the order of those charts in this window.

• Control of axis, titles, legends, colors, lines, etc.
• Charts can be imported on disk or copied to the clipboard in Window bitmap or metafile format
• Charts can also be copied as tab-separated values and imported by another charting application.

Script, educational & multimedia features

The script window is used to enter and edit commands. Those commands can be either read from a script file on disk, typed in by the user or automatically generated by the program. When used with the RECORD feature, the script can also be used as a log window to keep track of the analysis performed during a session. Those commands may then be executed again, providing an efficient way to automate statistical analysis. Additional commands also allow one to create demonstration programs, computer-assisted teaching lessons, and even computer-assisted data entry.

• Statistical analysis, data filtering and transformation commands
• Statistical analysis, data filtering and transformation commands
• Record script feature to automatically generate commands corresponding to operations performed with menus and dialog boxes.

What’s New in Version 2.6

1. Refreshed look

Users will immediately notice SimStat 2.6’s updated interface. We have implemented a more modern-looking design, with additional icons for ease-of-use

2. Projects are now stored in a single file

SimStat data files are now stored in a single file (with a .ppj file extension), providing an easier way to manage projects (delete, rename, move, etc.). This will allow projects to be stored on folders synchronized through a network or in online storage (Dropbox, SkyDrive, etc.). Consequently, changes will no longer be saved automatically on disk, but will require the use of new, yet familiar SAVE and SAVE AS commands.

3- Support of the report manager

SimStat now integrates the Report Manager features introduced in QDA Miner, allowing users to store documents, tables, graphics, and text outputs produced by QDA Miner, WordStat, and now SimStat in a single location. The Report Manager is structured in an outline, allowing users to easily view, edit, reorganize, and write draft versions of reports.

4. New, easier to use file creation and variable addition dialog box.

We have improved the dialogue boxes for project creation and for adding new variables to provide a more consistent interface between QDA Miner and SimStat.

5. Support of QDA Miner case descriptors

The SimStat case label feature has been improved to support the QDA Miner case descriptor feature.
