Statistical Software

Learn What’s New 

Upgrade now to access new and improved

statistical features and other enhancements
that make it even easier to analyze your data.
User Interface Improvements

Minitab Statistical Software has all the tools you need to

effectively analyze your data. By guiding you to the right analysis
and giving you clear results, Minitab helps you solve your
toughest business problems.

Minitab 18 includes new features and functionality to make data

analysis easier than ever.

Updated Session Window

The Session window not only looks
better, but it also includes several great
enhancements, including the ability to:
• Specify the number of
significant digits
• Easily access graphs via links
• Zoom in and out

Sort Worksheets
Easily manage your data within the
Project Manager using new options
for sorting your worksheets by title
or in chronological order.
New Statistical Features

Definitive Screening Designs

Identify which inputs affect your
outputs with this new type of DOE
screening design. These designs
can provide an alternative to
standard screening designs where
main effects are confounded with
two-way interactions.

More Distributions for Tolerance Intervals

Calculate statistical tolerance intervals for nonnormal data using a wide variety
of distributions including Weibull, lognormal, exponential, and more.
New Statistical Features

REML for Random and Fixed X’s

Explore relationships between
variables, run multiple comparisons,
and calculate predictions for
mixed models.

DOE Effects Plots

Visually identify significant X’s
with effects plots for general
factorial and response
surface designs.

Gage R&R
Incorporate a user-
specified process
(historical) standard
deviation in
relevant calculations.
 GLM Response Optimizer
Include both your factors and covariates when using
the response optimizer to find optimal settings.

Additional Enhancements

Command Line Pane Word and Excel Improvements

Enter commands to expand Import Session output into Word

Minitab’s functionality using a and Excel in table format to easily
