Analysis
JIRA | SUMMARY | DETAILS |
---|---|---|
ORG-17639 | Support Add Matrix as Sheet in Workbook | To support an analysis template which contains both workbook and matrix, everything must be in one workbook. So in Origin 2018b, we allow user to right click a workbook tab and choose Add Matrix as Sheet context menu. This actually adds the whole matrix book as a sheet in workbook. You can double click the matrix to open the matrix again. |
SE of derived parameter should also be included in Summary table | Output the SE of derived parameter and in the Summary table. | |
Change code to calculate P value for tcdf and fcdf in fitting tools for significance | Calculate the P value more accurately in the Nonlinear Fitting Tools. | |
ORG-16680 | Add two built-in implicit functions for diode and solar cell | The SolarCellIV and ModDiode fitting functions are added in the Implicit Category. |
ORG-16540 | Support define Implicit Function with integral | Support define Implicit Function with integral in the Fitting Function Organizer and Fitting Function Builder |
ORG-12869 | PCA Wants Loading plot and BiPlot support Plot Label | Principal Component Analysis: Loading plot and BiPlot use the latest design: plot label tab in Plot details dialog, and update Axis Labels "Principal Component 1" to be "PC1", add the value of "Percentage of Variance" to the Units label |
ORG-10828 | Frequency Count/Binning should support output format such as: 0-10, 10-20, etc. | 2D Frequency Count/Binning output sheet creates 4 type columns ahead with following LongName: Bins of A, Bin Beginnings of A, Bin Centers of A, Bin Ends of A and create 3 label row : Bin Beginnings of B, Bin Centers of B, Bin Ends of B. Frequency Counts output sheet creates 4 type columns ahead with following LongName: Bins, Bin Begin, Bin Centers , Bin Ends. |
