2009-12-17: Release note for GenEx 5.0.1

GenEx 5.0.1

The first release of GenEx 5 offers several new analyses and novel features.

New analyses

The optimum number of subject, sample, RT, and qPCR replicates can be estimated with the Experimental Design Optimization. The calculations are based on data from either a pilot study or estimated variance contributions for each step. The variance for the design is minimized while keeping under the given budget.

Analysis of variance for one and two factors (One-way ANOVA, Two-way ANOVA) has been implemented to estimate significant differences between more than two groups. Both include the post hoc tests Tukey-Kramer procedure, Bonferroni's test, and Dunnett's test.

Nested ANOVA is used to indicate significant differences of between more than two groups in a nested experimental design, but can also be used to investigate the variance contribution for each level in the design.

Support vector machine (SVM) is a new method found under the Networks analysis tab in the Enterprise package. It is a classifying method that, based on already classified samples, builds a model that is can be used to classify unknown samples.

Partial least square (PLS) is a calibrating method that is found under the Regression analysis tab in the Enterprise package. Based on known samples, it builds a model that calibrates unknown samples.

New features

Artificial neural network (ANN) has a new simple interface, but still offers the same options under advanced settings.

The entire help file have been updated with new texts and pictures.
