PATN lt; Finding Patterns in Data PATN generates estimates of association (resemblance, affinity, distance) between any set of objects described by a suite of variables (attributes) PATN then classifies the objects into groups, condenses the information into three dimensions and displays the patterns in your data graphically
Download PATN Download PATN PATN version 4 0 is the first public release of the free version of PATN We plan to release the source code of this version sometime in 2018 and will notify registered users when that occurs
About - PATN PATN contains a range of transformation and standardization options that can be quickly applied to selected rows and columns of the Data Table 'Visible Statistics' such as minima, means, maxima, values > 0, sum and missing values (user selectable) are also displayed in margins of the Data Table
F. A. Q - PATN PATN is a software package that performs Pattern Analysis PATN aims to try and display patterns in complex data Complex in PATN's terms, means that you have at least 6 objects that you want to know something about and a suite of more than 4 variables that describe those objects
Examples - PATN A number of example analyses or case studies will added to over time to illustrate the utility of PATN for finding structure in complex multivariate data Each worked example attempts to illustrate some of the common processes involved in pattern analysis
Marine lt; PATN To see if PATN can be used to understand the nature of the variation of marine benthic communities and to identify what if any environmental properties seem to be controlling the distribution of species
Medals lt; PATN This dataset was generated and distributed with PATN because most will find it easy to understand the variables and their significance to national differences This does not necessarily mean that the data is 'simple'
Two Step vs Bray Curtis lt; PATN In reality, PATN does both in a single ‘analysis’ run anyway In fact, when you put the site and species classification together in a two-way table, you have probably the best way of looking at this style of dataset
December 3, 2004 lt; PATN PATN v3 03 released Added a demonstration ‘use case‘ on the ‘medals’ dataset; Minkowski Series (Manhattan and Euclidean distance) association added to non-hierarchical classification This series allows for weighting of variables akin to the DOS PATN ALOB routine
News - PATN We are working on a minor update to bring all previous versions into line in regards random number generation We picked up minor inconsistencies between PATN code running on Linux and Windows systems A minor update (v 3 13) will be released soon
