StatSoft Announces STATISTICA 7
Detailed
List of New Features
STATISTICA 7 offers many new, unique features and added
functionality to the entire STATISTICA product line. Here are
a few examples:
Working with Projects - Dynamic, Interactive Selecting and
Querying Data Directly from Graphs
- Instantly update all graphs when the underlying data set
changes.
- Construct alternate, dynamic views of your data with large
numbers of dynamically linked STATISTICA graphs.
- Use the new graph brushing tools to interact with the data
by leveraging STATISTICA graphics as "visual
subset selection and querying tools."
- Define your own metadata containing additional properties
of individual variables; for analyses (e.g., to pre-select
and populate variable lists with "only
appropriate" variables) and graphs (e.g., to pre-select
default scaling for variables in scatterplots or
histograms).
- Define your own metadata containing additional properties
of individual cases in a data set (e.g., a particular subset
of cases can be assigned a "red star" marker, and
will appear as such in all graphs; other cases can be
assigned an "always labeled" status and will be
identified with their names in all graphs).

Expanded Spreadsheet Formulas and Case Selection Conditions
- Automatically display text of current case selection
conditions in the title areas of all respective output
spreadsheets and graphs.
- Conveniently run text searching, matching, and replacement
functions for case selection conditions and spreadsheet
formulas using a significantly expanded syntax.
The "By Group" Analysis
- Use powerful, automatic "By Group" Analysis where
complete analyses, whether Statistics or Graphs, are
repeatedly executed for each combination of levels of a set of
"By Group" variables. For example, selecting
variables CITY and GENDER as "By Group" variables
for a particular analysis will instruct STATISTICA to
repeate this analysis for all subsets of cases that can be
created by combinations of levels of CITY and GENDER
(e.g.,Dallas/Men, Dallas/Women, Chicago/Men,
Chicago/Women,...).
| Further Expanded STATISTICA Visual Basic
Functionality
|
 |
- Go even further using STATISTICA as a
comprehensive and efficient programming platform for
developing highly interactive custom graphics
applications.
- Embed a wide variety of ActiveX controls within STATISTICA
graphs.
|
|
More Data Import Options
- Conveniently import or export SAS (both binary and
portable formats), and native (binary) JMP, Minitab, and
SPSS files, providing easy migration from these legacy
systems.
| More Results Output Options
|
 |
- Enjoy the wide selection of new workbook
features in STATISTICA 7.
- Use the power of the new workbook multi-item
display function.
|
| Export PDF Format
- Export all document types into (editable) PDF
format.
|
| New Data Analysis Modules
For example:
- STATISTICA NIPALS Algorithm (PCA/PLS) -
an implementation of a number of techniques known
as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial
Least Squares (PLS). In STATISTICA, PCA
and PLS are implemented using the state of the art
NIPALS algorithm (Nonlinear Iterative Partial
Least Squares) a mathematical procedure
designed to extract systematic variations,
relationships, and information in datasets. STATISTICA
NIPALS simplifies the analysis at hand while
effectively combating the curse of high
dimensionality (typically present when the number
of variables is large). STATISTICA NIPALS
is also particularly suited for use in data
diagnostics, making it an ideal tool for use in
Quality Control in many areas of science and
technology.
- Link Analysis - a new, stand-alone product for
sequence analysis, advanced association rules
analysis, mixed sequence and association rules
analysis, post-analysis clustering of similar
items, deployment of solutions, and querying of
rules.
- Random Forests - a new, powerful module in STATISTICA
Data Miner (as well as STATISTICA Text
Miner and STATISTICA QC Miner) for
building flexible models for classification and
regression; particularly well-suited for extremely
large numbers of predictor variables.
