It is often interesting to look at various measures of odds, and this can be accomplished using STATISTICA’s Generalized Linear/Nonlinear (GLZ) Model. The overall odds ratio explains how much more prevalent one category is compared to another. Additionally, the odds can be examined as a contribution from a predictor variable. Read More »

Want to quickly see (without reading text) if a particular row of data is *bad*? You can always color code the data. You can visualize your data with conditional formating. Start by downloading ColorBackground.zip. After you unzip, you will see one file, ColorBackground.svb. To see the value of color coding, start... Read More »

In previous versions of STATISTICA, the program would display all documents registered as ActiveX documents in the Open dialog in the Files of type option. Experience has taught us that even though a document may be registered as an ActiveX document, it may not be fully functional as such, and it may not be able to be opened within STATISTICA. Now, only Excel, Word, and PowerPoint documents can be opened in the STATISTICA workspace in a default installation. If you want to enable the use of other document types in STATISTICA, you can edit the system registry using the Registry Editor tool. Read More »

If you need to sum rows, you can add a new Total variable to your STATISTICA spreadsheet. Then you use a formula to sum the data. If you use Excel, you are probably familiar with this idea. The Total variable is a "calculated" variable. And because you are using a formula, there is great flexibility in creating the total. The variables don't have to be next to each other. You could add variable 10 to variable 22. Here is a quick example... Read More »

A recent thread in the StatSoft User Forum discussed different options for copying STATISTICA graphs into a PowerPoint Presentation. STATISTICA is integrated with Microsoft Office. This means you can open Word, Excel and PowerPoint presentations within STATISTICA. Then you can drag-n-drop graphs from STATISTICA into PowerPoint. But there is another option. Read More »

High-quality graphs are often needed for publication in scientific journals or for use in presentations. STATISTICA offers tools for producing such graphs, and they can either be copied and pasted or saved as an image. This article will discuss some best practices for obtaining optimal quality from STATISTICA graphs... Read More »

Your data has a known pattern. It may have groups or categories of data. But this pattern is inside of your head rather than a variable. You need to create a new variable to express this pattern for your analysis project. Maybe you have five different DNA groups. Or you need to label your training data for a credit scoring project. You can autofill (auto calculate) values by dragging your mouse pointer across the data. But does anyone really want to drag through 1,000 or 100,000 rows of data? Read More »
