Short description:
MVSP - A MultiVariate Statistical Package, ver. 3.1 for Windows

Medium Description: 
MVSP - A MultiVariate Statistical Package (ver. 3.1) performs a variety of ordination and cluster 
analyses. It provides an inexpensive yet easy means of analysing your data in fields 
ranging from ecology and geology to sociology and market research.  MVSP performs several 
types of eigenanalysis ordinations: principal components (PCA), principal coordinates (PCO), 
correspondence/detrended correspondence analyses (CA/DCA) and canonical correspondence 
analysis (CCA).  It can also perform cluster analysis, using 20 different distance or similarity 
measures and seven clustering strategies.  Diversity indices may be calculated on ecological 
data; these include Simpson's, Shannon's, and Brillouin's indices.  

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
