Once the model has been fitted, I would be able to obtain further output such as regression diagnostic plots. The first part of the output from the regression is shown in Figure 3 . The Genstat commands generated by the front end are shown in the Input Log window. This allows you to save the commands to repeat your analysis, if you want to. I also use the Input Log to obtain commands that are very close to what I want, and then alter them to get exactly what I want.
Analysis of Variance is excellent for analysing partially balanced designed experiments.
The Graphics menu offers scatterplots, histograms, boxplots, dotplots, rug plots, pie charts, stem and leaf diagrams and minimum spanning trees. The graphs do not look as good on the computer screen as they could, but are acceptable. I have found that sending the graphics directly to a printer gives markedly better quality than is produced on the screen. The on-line help is excellent. I found that I could use the package without ever looking at the printed documentation.
