Data Analysis Software
Complete List of Features
Ellistat Data Analysis is the statistical analysis module of the Ellistat suite: a web-based software application that automatically selects the appropriate test, verifies its validity conditions, and guides interpretation—all without requiring prior statistical expertise. It offers an alternative to Minitab, JMP, or Statistica for analyzing quality and process data.
Discover Data AnalysisKey Points at a Glance
Ellistat Data Analysis covers nine areas: data management, descriptive statistics and capability analysis, hypothesis testing, equivalence testing, multivariate statistics, experimental designs, machine learning, optimization (including sequential Bayesian optimization), MSA/Gage R&R, and reliability (Weibull, Kaplan-Meier, accelerated testing, warranty tracking).
Five features have no equivalent in Minitab: sequential Bayesian optimization, Gaussian process mixture optimization, stress-strain analysis, warranty return tracking control charts, and automatic test selection with validity condition checking.

Test under real conditions
For us, the best way to prove that Ellistat is simple, ergonomic and complete is to let you test it for free for 1 month with your data and with your colleagues!
