Features

Analyze data quickly and easily generates statistics (frequencies, percentiles, means), tables and figures that can be cited in studies, presentations, reports, or briefings

Weighted and unweighted data can be displayed in frequency distributions, cross-tabs, means, percentiles, confidence intervals, and statistical testing

Custom reports written in SAS® can be parameterized to enable users to optimize/tailor their output with seamless integration. These results can be displayed in various formats from Excel to PDF

Robust confidentiality treatments are available — even though case-level data are not displayed, disclosure risks may remain if non-public data are used
