This update will fix an error in one of the supplementary statistics displayed with Random Forests, Boosted Trees, and C&RT. The defect is restricted to variable importance spreadsheets in those modules. While the graph of the importance of variables is correct, the corresponding importance spreadsheet is sorted in descending order according to the variable importance measure however, the variable names corresponding to the importance values were not placed in the appropriate order. The result is an incorrect spreadsheet of variable importance measures. The corresponding graph of variable importance which was also sorted in descending order is correct.

Update for STATISTICA Version 8

MR-3 update posted on October 31, 2008. This release includes STATISTICA Data Miner Recipes with its wizard-like user interface for STATISTICA Data Miner, STATISTICA Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL), along with various updates.

R procedures can be accessed via STATISTICA in several ways:

• Access R COM Server library directly
• Using STATISTICA datasets and retrieving results
• Calling R from SVB 
• Running R from STATISTICA 
• Running R from STATISTICA Enterprise 
• Running R as a Data Miner node 
• Running R from WebSTATISTICA

STATISTICA Data Miner

• The STATISTICA Data Miner Recipe (SDMR) approach provides an intuitive graphical interface to enable those with limited data mining experience to execute a "recipe-like" step-by-step analytic process. With these intuitive dialogs, you can perform various data mining tasks such as regression, and classification. Other recipes can be built quickly as custom solutions. Completed recipes can be saved and deployed as project files to score new data. 
• The STATISTICA Data Miner workspace may be resized independently of the size of the window. Additionally, the 4 node placement rectangles within the workspace may be sized independently. The workspace may be scrolled to view any parts not currently visible.

STATISTICA Enterprise

• XBar-R or XBar-S charts can be created from aggregated data. 
• A new chart type of "Six Graph" graph can be selected for SPC Analysis Configurations that have variable charts defined.  
• Options for starting "this week" either on Sunday or Monday  
• Administrators may restrict the set of filtering operations to those that are logical for the data being filtered. 
• A Deployment option allows you to directly upload PMML into Enterprise SVB Analysis Configurations so that the PMML can be executed against a Data Configuration  
• STATISTICA Enterprise Reporter can now generate reports directly as Word documents (*.doc). This requires that Microsoft Word be installed on the machine where the Report is run. 
• The Ad hoc Analysis Configuration is a special type of Analysis Configuration that just returns the data from the associated Data Configuration without running any analysis or SVB. Running an Ad hoc Analysis Configuration is equivalent to exploring the associated Data Configuration. This is useful for users that want to use STATISTICA Enterprise to import their data, and then perform ad hoc analyses.
