MVSP

MVSP stands for Multi-Variate Statistical Package. It's a cool tool that's both affordable and super easy to use, perfect for handling all sorts of multivariate numerical analyses. Whether you're into biology, sociology, or any other scientific field, this software can really help you out. It does three main types of eigenanalysis ordinations: principal components, principal coordinates, and correspondence/detrended correspondence analyses.

Easy-to-Use Desktop Layout

What's neat about MVSP is its KCS desktop metaphor. Imagine having all your data and graphs laid out right in front of you like papers on a desk! You can easily analyze everything side by side. Plus, there's a handy notepad feature where you can jot down ideas or notes as they pop up.

Save Your Work with Multiple Desktops

If you're experimenting with different graphs or adding new data, it's super simple to save just the stuff you need. When you close MVSP, it remembers where everything was on your desktop! This means when you come back later, you can pick up right where you left off. You can even save multiple desktops for different projects to keep things organized.

Create Custom Graphs from Your Data

Once you've analyzed your data, plotting the results is a breeze. Just choose the ordination axes you're interested in and let MVSP draw scattergrams for you! You can create joint plots that show both variables and cases for CA results. If you're looking at PCA results, it can generate Euclidean biplots with variables displayed as vectors too!

Dendrograms and Scree Plots Made Easy

MVSP also makes it easy to produce scree plots for PCA, PCO, and CA/CCA analysis. It automatically draws dendrograms from cluster analysis results too! And don't worry about needing to customize your graphs; MVSP saves your favorite settings so you don't have to start from scratch each time!
