Some commonly occuring statistical analysis tasks are implemented in Igor Pro®  procedures. They include the 1D Statistics Report package, the ANOVA Power Panel, plotting and convenience functions.

The 1D Statistics Report package is designed to simplify the analysis of a single 1D wave. The package produces a formatted notebook containing the results of the operations WaveStats and StatsQuantiles followed by several graphs. The graphs include a lag plot, an autocorrelation plot, a histogram, a spectral plot, box plot and a normal-probability plot.

The ANOVA Power Panel lets you compute various quantities relating to a one-way ANOVA for fixed-effect model. You can use the panel for experiment design.

Plotting Functions

Function Name What it does
statsAutoCorrPlot() plots the autocorrelation of a wave
statsBoxPlot() creates a single box plot
statsPlotHistogram() creates a simple histogram plot
statsPlotLag() creates a lag plot
statsProbPlot() creates a probability plot ala NIST
WM_PlotBiHistogram() creates a bi-histogram plot

A collection of convenience functions is listed below. These functions are available by including AllStatsProcedures.ipf.
