The IHDataAnalyst (IHDA) includes all of the features of the popular free Excel
spreadsheet IHStats.xls in addition to Censored Data Analysis and Bayesian Decision
Analysis. It is capable of analyzing from 1 to 2000 cases. The output can be
exported to a built-in text editor, which then can be saved and recalled as
a rich text file (rtf). In addition, all statistical output and graphs can be
copied into a wordprocessor or slideshow.
