PHStat2 readme file.
PHStat2 is Windows software that assists you in learning the concepts of statistics while using Microsoft Excel. PHStat2 allows you to perform many common types of statistical analyses working with and using the familiar Microsoft Excel interface. PHStat2 is an enhanced version of the original PHStat statistical add-in system. If you have used PHStat previously, read the "What's New?" section to discover the improvements that PHStat2 contains. (In your textbook, you should interpret any general reference to "PHStat" as a reference to PHStat2.)
The rest of this document is organized into sections to assist you in setting up and using PHStat2. The “What’s New in PHStat2” section of this file can also be found in the PHStat2 help system (select Help for PHStat2 from the PHStat menu in Microsoft Excel and look in the “Welcome to PHStat2” topic).
