18 NZAMT July 201518 iNZight was initially designed for New Zealand high schools, allowing students to quickly and easily explore data and understand some statistical ideas (using the companion program VIT). However, iNZight now extends to multivariable graphics, time series, and generalised linear modelling (including modelling of data from complex surveys). iNZight is FREE!! That means you can download and use it however you want, for whatever you want. There are absolutely no restrictions. You can download for yourself or redistribute it.
