These notes describe some of the basic statistical operations which may be useful when examining and drawing
conclusions from data using the PC Windows version of Genstat.
<P><a href="http://www.nag.co.uk/stats/TT.html">Genstat</a>
is a powerful statistical computer package for handling and analysing
data and is particularly suited to the analysis of scientific data.
<p>Here Genstat is used to do the calculations and draw diagrams in the
exploration and analysis of several example datasets.
No previous familiarity is assumed with the statistical ideas covered,
or with Genstat.
<p>If Genstat for Windows is accessible from your computer then these
notes can be used to best effect by opening a Genstat window alongside
your Web browser window and, as you move through the pages, performing
the Genstat operations as described in the notes.
