Numerical Analysis and Visualization in Business

Executives today are constantly under pressure to make quick, well informed decisions. As a result, they need more powerful and timely business analytics than ever before, and they need reliable results for confident decision-making.

The combination of numerical analysis and visualization allows organizations to gain insight into valuable business data and uncover unforeseen trends and previously unarticulated relationships. However, these discoveries are not useful unless applied quickly to the decision making process. This is where the use of Java‘ for data analysis comes into play. It allows analysis results to be shared across the enterprise quickly

For Over 30 years, Visual Numerics has brought advanced numerical analysis capabilities to these and other communities and now, the JMSL Library brings advanced mathematics and statistics to the Java language.

Why We Are Different
Until now, the Java language did not naturally allow for robust numerical analysis. With the JMSL Library, first introduced in 1997 when the language was in its infancy, Visual Numerics has made it possible to perform simple to complex data analysis on the Java platform by developing a unique set of custom language extensions. These extensions provide the basis for optimized business analytics on one of the most flexible and collaborative platforms available.

The JMSL Library is a complete collection of mathematical, statistical and charting classes, written in 100% Java, which provides the ability to develop network-centric, cost effective data analysis applications. It is the only solution to combine integrated charting with the reliable mathematical and statistical functionality of the industry-leading IMSL™ algorithms.

Numerical Analysis and Visualization in Technology
The JMSL Library accelerates development by allowing programmers to write only the parts of their application that they know best. Instead of writing their own routines and algorithms, or trusting public domain software with questionable results, developers can get reliable and quick results every time with the JMSL Library. These pre-packaged algorithms, containing the most widely used routines in a broad range of industries, allow developers to apply their specific expertise to the problem at hand without wasting time formulating new algorithms. This significantly reduces development time and eliminates the need to spend time on code maintenance and documentation.
