From brodgar@lists.highstat.com Thu Oct 13 22:04:24 2005 From: brodgar@lists.highstat.com (Highland Statistics Ltd.) Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 22:04:24 +0100 Subject: [brodgar]New Brodgar version Message-ID: <6.1.2.0.0.20051013214731.01d49190@pop.highstat.com> Dear Brodgar user, Version 2.7 is now available for downloading. It contains a spreadsheet and data editor and a few small bug fixes. Just download and over-install it from www.brodgar.com. It should recognize your license codes automatically. The next version will contain power analysis as described in Zar (1999). It has been tested during an MSc course with 60 students and it worked ok. Once help files are ready, we will make it available in version 2.8 (early November). The other good news is that Springer-Verlag has accepted our course material for a 700 page book publication. This book is not about Brodgar but all methods available in Brodgar will be explained. It has 15 case study chapters. The book will be called: "The Analysis of Ecological Data" by Zuur, AF, Ieno, EN and Smith, GM. We still need data for exercises and illustration of methodology. Your help would be welcome. Unfortunately, there is no co-authorship involved..but we will acknowledge the source. The last news is that we have changed the pricing structure of Brodgar. The reason for this is that a large number of universities and institutes have recently ordered Brodgar and asked for network licenses and use-at-home licenses for students. These type of licenses are now available. If you bought a student, personal or departmental license during the last two years, we will honor the initial arrangements of free updates and bug fixes for life. However, free access to new modules is only for 1 year. Please feel free to ask any questions (e.g on upgrading your current departmental license to a use-at-home license for staff and students).
