Features

Following is an overview of STATISTICA 9 features:

Performance Improvements

  • Multi-Core CPU Support takes advantage of recent “multithreading” changes implemented in computationally intensive STATISTICA analytic and data management procedures, resulting in dramatic speed gains on both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of STATISTICA.
  • Extremely large data sets are now supported in Data Mining modules (e.g., Interactive Trees, Boosted Trees, Random Forests, Cluster Analysis) that require iterative processing of the entire data set.

Excel Import Improvements

  • Microsoft Excel 2007 (*.xlsx) importing for non-U.S. locales has been improved.

Statistics Enhancements

  • Basic Statistics contains a new Percent of Valid Observation option, which is the proportion of valid observations for a selected variable to the number of cases reported for that variable.
  • Generalized Linear/Nonlinear Models (GLZ) now generates:
    • Odds ratios and their confidence intervals
    • Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve
    • Tweedie distribution
  • Quality Control Charts now accommodate one-sided control limits, including X, X-bar, MA, EWMA, Individuals with Moving Range, and CuSum, which can be deployed to STATISTICA Enterprise.
  • Survival Analysis contains a new Confidence Level field on the Regression Results dialog. The value in the Conf. Level field is used for constructing confidence limits for the parameter estimates and the risk or hazard ratio.

Data Miner Workspace Enhancements

  • Scrollable trees are now part of Data Miner Workspace output.
  • When adding nodes to the Data Miner Workspace from the node browser, a sound will now be produced to alert the user.
  • In the Data Miner Workspace, the logistic regression for deployment node now offers model building techniques including stepwise and best subset regression. Nodes for deployment allow for easy comparison of model performance within the workspace.

Graph Enhancements

  • Scatterplot graph markers using "outline style" are now transparent to better display multiple points clustered together.
  • Box Plots now have ToolTip text to display N and case names.
  • Multiple Plots (e.g., multiple scatterplot with one X variable and two or more Y variables) automated by SVB scripts now include data for newly added spreadsheet columns after the initial plot is created (without needing to delete and re-create the plot).
  • Categorized graphs (such as means plots, box plots, missing data/range plots, and ternary plots) now have an Overlaid Layout option, which overlays all subsets in one graph and identifies them with colors and patterns.

Spreadsheet Enhancements

  • STATISTICA Spreadsheets now support a user-entered comment in the audit trail.
  • The Subset data management feature now has easier access to Spreadsheet Case Selection Conditions.
  • Two new STATISTICA Visual Basic (SVB) function calls have been added to the spreadsheet object model to optimize the size of text variables based on the existing text:
    • OptimalTextVariableWidths
    • SetTextVariableWidths
  • You can now save spreadsheets as a Comma Separated File (*.csv)

Other System Enhancements

  • If your company has a SAS system installed, you can now build your models in STATISTICA and then deploy them in the SAS environment.
  • STATISTICA Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) options to pre-process batch manufacturing data to constant batch lengths are now available from directly within the Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC) module.
  • The STATISTICA Electronic Manual (i.e., online Help) contains a new "STATISTICA Examples" folder in the Table of Contents in the top "Getting Help" folder. This makes it easier to find step-by-step tutorials demonstrating STATISTICA functionality.

STATISTICA Enterprise Enhancements

  • A new database connection role is available for users who are not system administrators.
  • When using QC analysis configurations, users can define not only two-sided but also one-sided control limits.
  • You can now add an existing Dashboard to a Dashboard definition via Dashboard Admin - Add Task, using the Add Dashboard button.
  • When creating a Data Configuration query, you can now associate Specifications to multiple Characteristics.
  • Monitoring and Alerting Server (MAS) now tracks which samples have been processed and alarms on only the most recent data. Note that this functionality requires that the Data Configuration have an auto-update column defined.
