Add cases or variables
Lets you add new data (either cases or variables) to an existing EcStatic system file either manually or from ASCII files in nearly any format

Statistical Procedures || Utilities || TOP OF PAGE

Case selection
Lets you specify a case selection criterion to be applied by all statistical procedures. This criterion is a logical expression of the same format used in conditional statements in Transformations, which can include multiple conditions separated by AND or OR, and almost any transformation function.

Statistical Procedures || Utilities || TOP OF PAGE

Change variable information
Lets you change variable names, labels, or missing values in an EcStatic system file.

Statistical Procedures || Utilities || TOP OF PAGE

Delete cases or variables
Lets you remove data (either cases or variables) from an EcStatic system file.

Statistical Procedures || Utilities || TOP OF PAGE

Edit data
A powerful, screen-oriented data editor that lets you change data values.

Statistical Procedures || Utilities || TOP OF PAGE

Generate dummy cases
Lets you generate cases containing only missing values, for which you can then generate data (for example, random numbers) using the Transformation procedure.

Help
Context-sensitive help is available at the touch of the F1 key or help button.

Make subset
Make a copy of an EcStatic system file using only certain variables, or the same variables in a different order, optionally respecting case selection if it is in effect. This allows you to make an EcStatic system file containing only cases that pass the criterion you specify.

Statistical Procedures || Utilities || TOP OF PAGE

Merge EcStatic system files
A particularly powerful tool which allows you to combine data from two sets even if the two data sets share only some (or even none) of the same variables or cases. You can specify that cases in the two data sets should be matched using key variables, concatenated, or matched sequentially. The Merge utility is especially useful for studies conducted over time, in which the pool of subjects contributing data at each measuring point may change.

Statistical Procedures || Utilities || TOP OF PAGE

Missing data handling
EcStatic allows you to define a value (independently for each variable) as representing missing data, and automatically excludes missing values from calculations.

Statistical Procedures || Utilities || TOP OF PAGE

Multiple system files
You can have more than one system file open at a time, allowing for easy switching among data sets.

Statistical Procedures || Utilities || TOP OF PAGE

Notes
EcStatic offers a Notes box in each EcStatic system file window. The Notes box allows you to store some text along with the system file. For example, you might wish to enter notes about the source of the data, any transformations you have performed, or ideas for analysis that occur to you as you work.

Statistical Procedures || Utilities || TOP OF PAGE

Sort cases
Lets you sort the cases in an EcStatic system file using multiple sort keys, specifying an ascending or descending sort on each key.

Statistical Procedures || Utilities || TOP OF PAGE

Text editor
EcStatic 3.0 has a built-in text editor, which you can use to edit any standard text file. In addition, all EcStatic output is displayed in an output window, which is itself a text editor. This means that you can tailor your output (for example, to fit the needs of a publication) within EcStatic. You can also scroll through the output you have generated, remove extraneous information, save the output in a text file, or print the output at any time.

Windows multitasking
One of the features of Windows is multitasking, the ability to run more than one program at once. EcStatic supports multitasking, so you can do other things while EcStatic is doing a long calculation.

Limits/Requirements:

Number of cases in system file:   Essentially unlimited for most practical purposes.  (If you have the maximum number of variables, the maximum number of cases in a system file exceeds eight million.)

Number of variables in system file:  255  (7 in the free trial version)

System requirements:  EcStatic runs under any version of Windows from 3.1 on, including 95, 98, 2000, NT, and XP.  It occupies less than 2MB of disk space when installed.
