CAP

CAP is our fully featured analyical package ideal for a very wide range of analytical

techniques. CAP guides you through the complexities of multivariate statistics, with

its  Instant Assist  feature and a very extensive Help system that contains all the

background to the methods that you could need. Includes a helpful worked example

too! Buy bundled with ECOM for a substantial discount!

ECOM

The sister program to CAP, it complements CAP in providing analytical techniques to

detect, visualise and order relationships from both species data and environmental

variables. Used where you have environmental data as well as species data. Principal

methods: Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA), Redundancy Analysis (RDA),

Multiple Regression (MR) and Forward and Backward Stepwise Regression. (Discounts

are available for buying CAP & ECOM as a bundle).

Species Diversity and Richness II

A program to calculate and compare species diversity, estimate total species richness

and study patterns of abundance.

Axis

For handling circular statistics. Essential in behavioural studies, biogeography and

geology.

Fuzzy Grouping

Fuzzy Grouping offers two main methods of data analysis, firstly, fuzzy c means and

secondly, fuzzy ordination, for dealing with imprecise data and likelihood of group

membership.

Population Estimation by Removal Sampling

A program to calculate the statistics from removal trapping experiments.

Simply Growth

To analyse growth curves from length and/or weight data.

Simply Probits

A program for estimating lethal or environmental concentrations using toxicity data.

Simply Tagging

For estimating population size of both closed and open populations with mark 

recapture methods. Includes data simulation options to model experiments for open

and closed populations.

Density from Distance

Offering a range of analytical techniques commonly used by ecologists to estimate

animal and plant density from measurements of the distance between objects or from

a selected line or point to the objects.

Dynamica

Dynamica allows you to explore how animal populations and communities change

through time.

The program uses a long term data set from the Severn Estuary, England. Since 1980
