Every statistical tool we make, in one licence Method validation with 11 CLSI protocols, diagnostic accuracy with ROC curves, survival analysis with Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression, statistical process control with Shewhart, CUSUM, and EWMA charts, plus the full general statistics toolkit — ANOVA, regression, PCA, and more.

Most organisations don’t fit neatly into a single edition. The IVD company running CLSI method validation studies also needs SPC on the manufacturing line. The clinical lab verifying a new assay also runs survival analysis for research publications. The quality team monitoring control charts also needs ANOVA and regression to investigate out-of-control events.

The Ultimate edition unlocks every feature across all four editions — Method Validation, Medical, Quality Control & Improvement, and Standard — in a single licence at US$575/yr, less than any two specialist editions bought separately. Already own a specialist edition? Upgrade for the difference in price.

We use Analyse-it frequently for our verification and pre-verification work, in accordance with CLSI guidelines for in-vitro diagnostics. It’s saved time and effort compared to the hodge-podge of applications we used before, JMP, SAS, etc…

Validate and verify measurement system performance

The complete CLSI method validation toolkit — precision, linearity, detection capability, method comparison, reference intervals, and diagnostic performance — with 11 evaluation protocols built in:

  • Precision with nested variance components, precision profiles, and five variance function models (EP05-A3)
  • Linearity with polynomial and weighted regression, Hsieh-Liu nonlinearity testing, and measuring interval (EP06-A)
  • Detection capability — LoB, LoD, LoQ using parametric, non-parametric, probit regression, and variance function approaches (EP17-A2)
  • Verification of precision and trueness against manufacturer claims (EP15-A3), interference testing (EP10-A3-AMD)

Compare methods and evaluate the impact of changes

Five regression models for method comparison — including Passing-Bablok, Deming, and weighted Deming — plus Bland–Altman agreement and total analytical error:

  • Passing-Bablok and Deming regression with confidence intervals on slope and intercept, medical decision point evaluation
  • Bland–Altman limits of agreement — mean, median, and regression-based bias with constant and non-constant precision

Establish reference intervals for clinical interpretation

Full range of reference interval methods — match the method to your sample size and distribution, partition where subgroups need separate ranges, and transfer or verify intervals when moving to a new measurement procedure:

  • Five quantile methods — parametric, non-parametric (three computation approaches), robust bi-weight, bootstrap, and Harrell–Davis
  • Partition by sex, age, ethnicity, or any combination of factors
  • Full range of transformations — log, square root, cube root, Box–Cox, Manly exponential, two-stage exponential/modulus
  • Transfer and verify existing intervals using regression or binomial proportion test
Reference interval details →
Reference intervals with histogram and reference limits

Evaluate diagnostic test accuracy

Establish and compare the ability of a diagnostic test to discriminate between patients with and without a condition — and find the decision threshold that balances sensitivity, specificity, and clinical cost:

  • Empirical and binormal ROC curves with DeLong AUC and confidence intervals (EP24-A2)
  • AUC comparison (DeLong) for up to 10 paired or independent tests
  • Sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, predictive values, diagnostic odds ratio
  • Optimal threshold — Youden, closest-to-(0,1), cost-based
  • Qualitative test evaluation — PPA/NPA, kappa, weighted kappa (EP12-A2)

Analyse time-to-event data with survival analysis

Estimate survival functions, compare treatment groups, and model the effect of covariates on the hazard:

  • Kaplan–Meier survival curve with pointwise, Nair, or Hall–Wellner confidence bands
  • Median, quartile, and restricted mean survival time
  • Test equality of survival functions with log-rank, Wilcoxon, Tarone–Ware, Fleming–Harrington

Monitor processes with control charts

Shewhart variable and attribute charts with automatic detection rules, plus time-weighted charts for detecting small, sustained shifts:

  • Xbar-R, Xbar-S, I-MR for continuous data; p, np, c, u for attribute data
  • CUSUM, EWMA, and UWMA time-weighted charts
  • WECO, Nelson, and Montgomery detection rules — runs, trends, stratification, and oscillation flagged automatically
  • Phases for before-and-after comparison with separate control limits per period
  • Stratification by operator, shift, machine, material lot, or any factor

Determine whether the process meets the specification

Capability and performance indices with confidence intervals and non-normal data handling:

  • Cp, Cpk, Cpm for inherent capability; Pp, Ppk for actual delivered performance
  • Z-benchmark, sigma level, and nonconforming unit estimation
  • Box-Cox and power transformations for non-normal distributions
  • Histogram with specification limits and normal Q-Q plot with Lilliefors band
Capability analysis details →

Focus improvement effort on the vital few

Pareto charts to identify the most frequently occurring defects and break them down by contributing factors:

  • One-way and two-way comparative Pareto charts — defect type by operator, shift, machine, product line
  • Merge low-frequency categories, reorder bars, colour by subgroup
  • 80/20 cumulative percentage line
Pareto analysis details →
Two-way comparative Pareto chart

Compare groups and test for differences

Independent samples, paired samples, two groups or ten — parametric and non-parametric tests with the assumption checks built into the same workflow:

  • Student’s t, Welch’s t, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney for two groups; one-way ANOVA, Welch’s ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis for three or more
  • Paired t-test, Wilcoxon signed ranks, Sign test, within-subjects ANOVA, Friedman
  • Nine multiple comparison procedures — Tukey-Kramer, Dunnett, Hsu, Scheffé, Steel, Dwass-Steel-Critchlow-Fligner
  • Cohen’s d and Hedges’ g effect sizes with non-central t confidence intervals
Hypothesis testing details →
Compare groups with ANOVA and multiple comparisons

Fit and diagnose regression models

Regression as a process of building, examining, and refining — not a single pass from data to p-value:

  • Simple linear, polynomial, logarithmic, exponential, power, and probit regression
  • Multiple regression with continuous and categorical predictors, crossed terms, and interactions
  • Binary logistic regression with odds ratios and Wald confidence intervals
  • ANOVA and ANCOVA with effect means, interaction plots, and multiple comparisons
  • Residual diagnostics, leverage plots, Cook’s D influence, VIF for multicollinearity
Regression details →

Describe and visualise data

Every analysis starts with understanding the data. What does the distribution look like? Are there outliers? Is it normal?

  • Mean, median, SD, CV%, skewness, kurtosis, geometric mean, harmonic mean, quantiles, mode
  • Histograms, dot plots, box plots (skeletal, Tukey outlier, quantile), CDF plots, Q-Q plots with Lilliefors bands

We use Analyse-it for the analysis of data necessary to file 510k. We chose Analyse-it because it works in Excel, includes CLSI protocols, and, unlike EP-Evaluator, lets us analyze data directly from equipment without typing.
