Some commonly occuring statistical analysis tasks are implemented in Igor 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.
