Primer-E Information

PRIMER 8 is the latest evolution of PRIMER software, building on decades of collaboration between statisticians and ecologists to support the analysis of complex, real-world multivariate data. It introduces new ways to explore structure, understand relationships, and gain confidence in your results, while continuing to evolve as methods in ecological and statistical analysis continue to advance. Multivariate data are rarely simple. In many scientific fields, classical statistical methods fall short because there are too many variables to analyse individually, and datasets are often non-normal or highly zero-inflated, or require complex scripting workflows that are difficult to validate and reproduce. PRIMER software was created for exactly this challenge, providing a complete statistical toolkit designed for real-world data. PRIMER / PERMANOVA+ is trusted and relied on for robust, defensible analysis across hundreds of fields by researchers, institutions, government agencies, and private companies in over 130 countries worldwide. PRIMER-e also offers training courses and one-on-one statistical consulting to support researchers in producing clear, reliable, and defensible insights from complex data.
