Genstat procedures and documents

Biometris GenStat Procedures and documents


The Biometris GenStat Procedure Library contains procedures in which new and existing statistical methodology is implemented, as well as procedures to make GenStat more user-friendly. The Biometris library can be used and distributed freely. Next to the procedure library manual there are 2 other documents: one about Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis and one about the Graphics Possibilities in GenStat (in Dutch).

Extract the downloaded file "Biometris-12ed.zip" and run "Biometris-12ed.exe". The Library itself ("Biometris-12ed.glb") and the Help file ("Biometris-12ed.chm") will be installed in the GenStat AddInns directory, which is usually C:\Program Files\Gen12ed\AddIns. Accompanying files will be installed in the Biometris subdirectory below the AddInns directory. Online help is available after installation by means of the {Help | User Libraries} Menu. Two PDF Manuals can be found in the Biometris subdirectory: the 12th Edition Biometris Procedure Library Manual and the Explanation and Description of the Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis (Usage) procedures. Both manuals can already be viewed here:
