What is P-STAT?
The P-STAT® system was first used to
analyze psychopharmacological data.
This data, collected from a variety of sources, required
extensive cleaning and file manipulation. The result
was a program that did far more than statistical
analysis.
The original
authors, Roald and Shirrell Buhler, left the Princeton
University Computer Center in 1979 to form P-STAT, Inc.
Today, P-STAT offers survey analysis, statistical analysis,
data and file management, data presentation, and
report-writing capabilities. Double precision is used to store
numeric data and for all statistical and arithmetic processing.
A full suite of functions is available for processing
character fields which can be from 1 to 50,000 characters in length.
P-STAT's full power lies in the ability to combine these features with
MACROS and
PPL (the P-STAT Programming Language) into full featured
and easy to use business applications. These applications can
be run as background batch processes or interactively in response
to user queries.
The P-STAT
system also includes several features designed for market research
including
sample balancing,
stub-and-banner displays and TURF. TURF stands for
Total Unduplicated Reach and
Frequency analysis.
