CAMO Software, leaders in multivariate data analysis software, and Stat-Ease, Inc. have released a software bundle for multivariate data analysis and design of experiments. The software bundle combines CAMO’s leading software for multivariate data analysis, The Unscrambler® X, and Stat-Ease’s leading software for design of experiments, Design-Expert®.

The Unscrambler X offers advanced multivariate methods, data visualization tools and the ability to cut through large data sets. It is used in the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, chemical, energy, mining & metals, paper and agriculture sectors.

Design-Expert enables users to make breakthrough improvements to a product or a process. One can not only screen for vital factors, but also locate ideal process settings for top performance and discover optimal product formulations.

Together, the product bundle will provide customers with access to two world-class software packages providing advanced data analysis in one solution.

Shirley A. Henshall, CEO of CAMO Software, says: “We are pleased to announce the launch of this product bundle together with Stat-Ease. It will provide our customers with leading tools for DOE as well as the existing multivariate data analysis features our customers have enjoyed for many years.”

The third edition of DOE Simplified: Practical Tools for Effective Experimentation is now available. This comprehensive introductory text is geared towards readers with a minimal statistical background. In it, the authors take a fresh and lively approach to learning the fundamentals of experiment design and analysis. This edition includes a major revision of the software that accompanies the book (via trial download) and sets the stage for introducing experiment designs where the randomization of one or more hard-to-change factors can be restricted. It also includes a new chapter on split plots and adds coverage of a number of recent developments in the design and analysis of experiments.

P.S. There are still some copies of DOE Simplified, 2nd Edition available on clearance if you would like to learn the fundamentals of DOE while saving money.

On May 27th, Stat-Ease, Inc. and Systech Technocraft Services Pvt. Ltd. held the 1st Asian DOE User Meeting in Goa, India, followed by a workshop on the 28th–29th on Designed Experiments for Pharma (DEPH). There were a variety of interesting case studies presented by Design-Expert® software users, as well as keynote addresses by Stat-Ease founder, Pat Whitcomb, Stat-Ease principal Mark Anderson, and COO of CAMO Software Inc., Brad Swarbrick.

We had a great turnout, lively discussions, and productive networking during the meeting and mixer that followed. Most attendees stayed on for the two-day workshop and found it very beneficial. The location at the Vivanta by Taj - Panaji hotel in Goa, India was beautiful. We hope that you can join us for the next Asian DOE User Meeting (to be announced)!
