History
Statgraphics is a statistics package that performs and explains basic and advanced statistical functions. The software was created in 1980 by Dr. Neil Polhemus while working as a professor of statistics at Princeton University. The current version of the program, Statgraphics Centurion 18, was released in fall 2017.[1] Version 18, available in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions, is available in five languages: English, French, Spanish, German and Italian.
During spring 2006, Statgraphics Mobile was released as the first advanced statistical program designed to run on hand-held computers (Pocket PC, Pocket PC Phone Edition, or compatible device running Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Pocket PC 2003).
In September 2008 the Statgraphics Online version was released. Statgraphics Online is a statistical package that runs within a web browser. Users can enter data directly into the data editor or import data from text files, Excel files, or other formats. The calculations are performed remotely on a web server and the results returned to the user's browser as HTML with embedded graphics images.
In July 2012 Statgraphics Sigma express was released. It is an add-in for Microsoft Excel that enables users to perform various calculations required when learning or applying Six Sigma. It adds a menu selection to Excel containing sections for each item of the DMAIC paradigm (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) plus additional menu items for Tools and Help. The program is designed to meet the needs of Six Sigma yellow belts, green belts and most black belts. Sigma express is available in English and French.
In October 2017 Statgraphics Technologies Incorporated released Centurion 18, the companies flagship software. Centurion 18 included 32 new statistical procedures. With Centurion 18 the company placed a new emphases on data visualization.
Following extensive development, Statgraphics released its cloud based application named "Stratus" in June 2015. One of the first cloud analytic tools on the market, it is designed to work either as a stand-alone program or in conjunction with Centurion 18. Stratus was designed by Statgraphics Technologies Incorporated to work on any device with a browser, including PCs, Macs, tablets and handheld devices.
Contents
Statgraphics 18 contains over 250 procedures, including descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, analysis of variance, survival analysis, time series analysis and forecasting, sample size determination, multivariate methods and Monte Carlo techniques. The SPC menu includes many procedures for quality assessment, capability analysis, control charts, measurement systems analysis, and acceptance sampling. The program also features a DOE Wizard that creates and analyzes statistically designed experiments. Version 18 added several machine learning methods and the ability to deal with Big Data.
Applications
Statgraphics is frequently used for Six Sigma process improvement.[2] The program has also been used in various health and nutrition-related studies.[3][4][5] The software is heavily used in manufacturing chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, automobiles, food and consumer goods.[3] It is also widely used in mining,[6] environmental studies,[7][8] and basic R&D. Government agencies such as NASA and the EPA also use the program, as do many colleges and universities around the world.
