CAP 6 is a general multivariate analysis package for Windows PCs, with excellent graphics, suitable for undergraduate and post-graduate students and researchers in a wide range of sciences. Integration with R will be especially useful for under- and post-graduates, for whom the language is an ever-growing requirement. 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.

With its easy-to-use interface, and familiar Windows feel, QED Statistics is the perfect teaching program. You can concentrate on the statistics and how to use them, rather than on how to use a complex stats program.

Suitable for post-graduate students and researchers, Fuzzy Grouping is a Windows program offering fuzzy clustering methods that are now becoming used by community ecologists. Researchers in other fields such as palaeontology, archaeology and the social sciences may also use these methods. In ordinary cluster analysis a sample or site either belongs or does not belong to a particular group or set. We can score membership as a value of 1 and non-membership as 0. In fuzzy clustering a degree of membership can be assigned as a value between 0 and 1 so that a value of say 0.8 would indicate a high probability that the sample belonged to the particular group in question.
