Community Analysis Package 4:
* A unique range of analyses available, covering both
metric and non-metric methods, in one easy-to-use package
* New methods: Discriminant Analysis, Species Matching and Mahalanobis
distance have been added, with many other improvements in the existing methods.
A fantastic new feature lets you assign points to a group simply by dragging
over them on the chart. You can create a group from one analysis and see if it
persists in another. The original method of assigning groups has been improved
to show the groups' names and colours
* Improved graphics! Plotting of graphs and dendrograms improved; plot
groups of samples in different colours and styles, switch on drop-down stalks,
use graph themes and change the line and font size – all using the new graph
toolbar. Get your results ready for publication, quickly and easily!
* Open Excel files, without needing to have Excel installed on your
computer.
* The Demo now includes a wide range of data sets, and all the video
Guides and Help system can be seen on the website, so you can understand and
explore everything that CAP4 can do for you.
* Unlike non-commercial packages, we offer full support - which means you
can complete your analysis when it really matters, and you get the help you
need, when you want it!
Suitable for undergraduate and post-graduate students and
researchers in a wide range of sciences, CAP4 is a general multivariate analysis
package for Windows PCs, with excellent graphics. It is easy to use and
affordable. It offers all the analytical techniques commonly used by community
ecologists, and all other fields of research that use multivariate methods,
including biology, geology, archaeology, anthropology, economics and sociology.
It is particularly useful for ecological teaching because it allows students to
quickly enter data, try different transformations, and explore a wide range of
methods within a familiar Windows setting.
Community Analysis Package 4 gives you superb graphics, ease of use, and top
quality support, with all the methods you need - in one software package!

Use the latest methods to gain insights into your data. SDR gives you a powerful
suite of proven methods including some of the most exciting methods in modern
ecology. With SDR, you can use all these methods, simply, quickly and easily.
Unlocks the diversity of your data
With SDR you can explore multiple indices in a fraction of a second, compare the
diversity or richness of any two samples, produce high quality graphics and
discover patterns in your data. SDR is the tool that unlocks your data.
Explains the methods and gives you the information
Every method is explained in detail in the extensive help system, which gives
you the background you need to understand your data. We give you advice on the
most appropriate method for your data, and include worked examples of the
analyses you will be undertaking.
More analysis, more explanation, more insight
Our intuitive interface lets you get at your results fast. With SDR you can use

We give you the support of a proven company
We pride ourselves on our technical support. We provide email and phone support
for our users, extensive help systems and a free newsletter.
SDR is the right program for you
Perfect for undergraduate and post-graduate students, and researchers in
environmental, geographical and archaeological sciences, Species Diversity and
Richness offers a full suite of techniques for analysing sample diversity. SDR
offers all the analytical tools that a general ecologist needs for analysing and
comparing the diversity of communities. All the recommended methods of
Magurran's "Measuring Ecological Diversity" (2004), and Southwood and
Henderson's "Ecological Methods" (3rd edition, 2002) have been implemented
within the comprehensive program.

Suitable for post-graduate students and researchers in environmental sciences,
ECOM is a Windows program with a range of analytical techniques to detect,
visualise and order relationships in multivariate data where the researcher has
information on both the species present and the most influential environmental
variables.
The principal methods are:
Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA)
Redundancy Analysis (RDA)
Multiple Regression (MR)
Forward/Backward Stepwise Regression (MR)
Researchers in other fields such as palaeontology, archaeology and the social
sciences also use many of these methods
<New Features in Ecom II>
We have added major improvements in power and versatility to Ecom II:
* Unlimited data set size:
New array handling technology has been built into ECOM II to enable data
matrices of virtually any size to be handled - limited only by the power of your
PC.
* Improved graphics:
Plotting of graphs has been significantly improved, and plots can
now be exported as PDF documents; grids can be exported as HTML tables.
* New methods added:
Stepwise variable selection and regression.
* Problem-solving:
Improved testing and detection of multicollinearity
* Faster calculation:
The speed at which Ecom performs most calculations has been
dramatically increased, even for very large data sets.
* Help system and manual:
Ecom's Help system has been much improved, and the instruction manual completely
revised.
