RATS Version 11

We’re pleased to announce that version 11 of RATS is now available. The main improvements have been to the interface and the documentation.

  • This completes our project of incorporating all the documentation into the help; the content from the User's Guide and Introduction have now been added. This is available both on our web site and with the software. The updated help has substantially more clickable links, and includes detailed descriptions of most of the procedures and examples.
  • The new "Project" file type allows you to group a set of program, source and data files into a single file for ease of use. We also have used it to create "projects" for the standard examples which include all the information to run the example, plus a link to the detailed description of what it does.
  • You can also include graphs and reports as part of the project. To support this, we have added a new (specific to RATS) format for graphs and for reports.
  • RATS v11 supports dark mode on the Mac and high-contrast mode under Windows for those who prefer that appearance. It also supports the accessibility size adjustments under Windows for those who need larger font sizes.
  • A new instruction PLS has been added to estimate using Penalized Least Squares (LASSO or Ridge Regression)

A list with all combined changes after 10.0 through 11.0 is provided in the help. If you have a license older than 10.0, you can following the links on that page to find out the other changes since your version was released.
