What's new?

6.10

New monoline icon set.

Survival/Reliability

• New Kaplan-Meier survival function.
• Added Log-rank, Wilcoxon, Tarone-Ware, Fleming-Harrington tests.

6.00

Fit Model

• Added Cox proportional hazard regression model.
• Improved odd-ratios in logistic regression to support models including interaction terms.

Multivariate

• Added support to PCA monoplot to vary vector colors.

5.92

MSA

• Fix so variance function uses reduced measuring interval for calculating fit

5.90

Fit Model

• Added support for inverse prediction of X given Y in simple regression models.
• Added ability to plot predictions or inverse predictions on scatter plot

5.80

MSA

• Added support for the new CLSI EP6-Ed2 linearity procedure. CLSI now defines the deviation from linearity as the difference between the mean of replicates and the linear fit, and therefore no longer requires fitting polynomial models. (Estimating the linearity of a measurement procedure (EP06-Ed2))

• Added Recalculate All command to recalculate all analyses in the workbook.

5.65

Fit model

• Probit/Logit regression inverse prediction confidence intervals

Diagnostic performance

• Noninferiority/Equivalence tests for comparing sensitivity/specificity
• Updated help topics on comparing sensitivity/specificity

5.60

Fit model

• Probit/Logit regression multiple inverse predictions

Method Comparison

• Bangdiwala's agreement plot for visualizing agreement (Agreement plot)
• Dice-Sørensen average agreement measure
• New help topics on binary/semi-quantitative agreement measures

5.51

Fit model

• Probit regression (including features to perform CLSI EP17-A2 using Probit regression) (Fitting a simple probit regression, Estimating the detection limit using a probit fit)
• Transform X and Y variable in simple regression

Distribution

• Transform variable

MSA

• Predict variance at a given U for precision profile variance function
• Improved handling of small negative numbers in fitting a precision profile variance function (thanks to Bill Sadler for his suggestions)
• Hide excluded outliers in Variability plot

Method Comparison

• Set seed in P&B bootstrap procedure
• Log X-axis scale on difference plots

Reference Interval

• Set seed in bootstrap procedures

Diagnostic testing

• Multiple prior probabilities for computation of predictive values

5.40

Distribution / Compare groups / Compare pairs

• Added TOST (two-one-sided t-test) for equivalence (Testing equivalence of distribution parameters, Testing equivalence of means, Testing equivalence of means)

5.30

Fit Model

• Added Durbin-Watson test for autocorrelation
• Added weighted regression

Distribution

• Added Median Absolute Difference (MAD)

Fixes for international formatting issue

5.20

New feature: ability to specify minimum, maximum and units for a variable to help scaling chart axes. (Setting the minimum, maximum and units of a variable)

5.11

MSA

• Changed Detection Limit non-parametric quantile computation method to align with CLSI EP17

5.10

New feature, save filter and re-apply during recalculate (Analyzing a subset of the data)

5.01

Added EP06-A tutorial

Linearity

• Weighted regression fit for scenarios where the precision is not constant across the measuring interval
• Adjust the measuring interval to find the linear range

Precision

• Removed rounding of Satterthwaite DF for better compatibility with other software and EP05-A3 examples
• Fixed computation of confidence interval on partial sum of variance components

4.97

Improved quick-start guide

Included example datasets and analyses

Fixes for Office 2016 monitor DPI awareness

4.95

Improvements to the Ultimate & Method Validation editions:

Added EP05-A3 tutorial

4.92

Added EP15-A3 tutorial

Method comparison

• Various improvements to prediction interval in Deming regression

Fixed start-up issue experienced by some customers

4.91

Precision

• Added 4-parameter flexible variance function for precision profiles with a turning point near the detection limit

4.90

First official release using Microsoft .NET 4

Shows active AutoFilter conditions in report header

Method comparison

• Added to restrict fit to a group
• Added prediction intervals to Ordinary Deming and Weighted Deming regression for commutability studies

Precision

• Reorganized precision report so it's more compact by integrating additional summary table into Abbreviated and Detailed component tables
• Fixed bug in precision profile where the variance function fit could result in negative variance estimates due to a flaw in detecting boundary condition (thanks to Bill Sadler for raising this issue)
• Added constraints for J parameter in 3-parameter variance function

4.81

Round-up of recent minor fixes

Method comparison

• Fix for Mean vs 1st replicate computing lambda for Deming regression with unequal replicates per item.
