Straight-line regression fits are popular because they allow you to get a slope to measure the rate of change. This video shows you how to get a straight line fit and slope just for the section(s) of your data that are linear.

9 Minutes

Your graphs and statistical results in Prism only tell part of the story. Learn how to import images from sources outside of Prism so everything is together in one place for your presentations and manuscript submissions.

6 Minutes

This video shows how to pair your statistical results with your graph in Prism and demonstrates how the results on your graph are automatically linked to the corresponding data table.

8 Minutes

If the graph you want is not already in Prism, it still may be possible to create in a few easy steps. In this video, learn how to increase Prism’s already large selection of graph types by overlaying two graphs creating a whole new category of graphs.

10 Minutes

This video will walk you through how to fit a regression line to a subset of data while still graphing all of the data on a graph.

10 Minutes

Without Normalization, the color scale on a heatmap is based on the entire range of data across all rows and columns. This can make it difficult to visually inspect and interpret your results.This video will show you how to avoid this issue.

9 Minutes

This video provides an informative overview of how to choose the right statistical test in Prism for your analyses. Think of this as a decision-making framework for all your data analysis projects in Prism.

4 Minutes

Changing an analysis option or repeating an existing analysis is quick and easy in Prism. This video shows you how by introducing the Change menu and Change toolbar.
