Introductory Overview

Welcome to STATISTICA, where every analysis you will ever need is at your fingertips. Used
around the world in more than 20 countries, StatSoft's STATISTICA line of software has gained
unprecedented recognition by users and reviewers. In addition to both basic and advanced
statistics, STATISTICA products offer specialized tools for analyzing neural networks, determining
sample size, designing experiments, creating real-time quality control charts, reporting via the
Web, and much more . . . the possibilities are endless.

Title
Use the Analysis Toolbar
In this demonstration, see the benefits of convenient multi-tasking
functionality in STATISTICA. Run multiple copies of STATISTICA at the same
time, run multiple analyses of the same or different kinds, run analyses on
the same or different data files, or do all three.

Save and Retrieve Projects

STATISTICA Projects provide the means to save your work and return to it
later. A project is a "snapshot" of STATISTICA at the time it was saved:
input data, results including graphs, spreadsheets, workbooks and reports,
and data miner workspaces. This tutorial explains how projects are used.

Use Variable Bundles

With the Variable Bundles Manager, you can easily create bundles of
variables in order to organize large sets of variables and to facilitate the
repeated selection of the same set of variables. By creating bundles, you
can quickly and easily locate a subset of data in a large data file.

Statistical Reference Book

Perform By Group Analysis

With STATISTICA, you can generate output for each unique level of a By
variable or unique combination of multiple By variables at the individual
results level. This makes it very easy to compare results of an analysis
across different groups.

Select Subsets of Cases

In this demonstration, see the extremely flexible facilities for case selection
provided in STATISTICA. You can specify cases in two different ways, either
temporarily, only for the duration of a single analysis, or more permanently
for all subsequent analyses using the current spreadsheet.
Data Filtering/Cleaning
Data Cleaning is an important first step in Data Mining and general analysis
projects. This tutorial illustrates several of the data cleaning tools of
STATISTICA.
Use Spreadsheet Formulas
Variables in STATISTICA Spreadsheets can be defined by formulas that
support a wide selection of mathematical, logical, and statistical functions.
Furthermore, STATISTICA provides the option to automatically or manually
recalculate all spreadsheet functions as the data change. In this
demonstration, see how STATISTICA's "type ahead" feature recognizes
functions and prompts for the necessary parameters.
Select Output
What is your preference for showing the results of your analyses? See how
the various output options in STATISTICA let you work the way you want.
View your results in individual windows, store output in a convenient
workbook, or annotate results in a presentation-quality report. The Output
Manager gives you complete control and remembers your preferences.
>
Microsoft Office Integration
STATISTICA is fully integrated with Microsoft Office products. This
demonstration shows how to output STATISTICA results to Microsoft Word
and open a Microsoft Excel document in STATISTICA.

Workbook Multi-item Display

STATISTICA multi-item display enables you to quickly view and edit all
documents within a workbook. This video demonstrates how to view
multi-item displays, print and save multi-item displays as PDF files, and
customize STATISTICA documents within the multi-item display grid.
Reports In PDF Format
With STATISTICA, you can easily create reports in Acrobat (PDF) format for
all STATISTICA document types. This powerful feature enables you to
SHARE DOCUMENTS with colleagues who have a PDF Reader such as
Adobe Acrobat Reader. This video demonstrates how to save and print all
STATISTICA document types as PDF files.
Categories of Graphs
In addition to the specialized statistical graphs that are available through all
results dialogs in STATISTICA, there are two general types of graphs in
STATISTICA. In this demonstration, these two graph types are explored:
Graphs of Input Data, which visualize or summarize raw values from input
data spreadsheets, and Graphs of Block Data, which visualize arbitrarily
selected blocks of values, regardless of their source.
Auto-Update Graphs
The dynamic features to automatically update graphs facilitate the visual
exploration of data. STATISTICA Graphs are dynamically linked to the data.
Thus, when the data change, the graphs automatically update. This video
demonstration explores how this functionality can be used for data
correction and how to glean important patterns visually from the data, as
well as how to create custom graph templates.
Create Random Sub-Samples
During exploratory analysis of very large data sets, it may be best to
perform a variety of preliminary analyses using a subset of data. When all
the data cases are equally important and a smaller but fully representative
subset of the data is sufficient, it is beneficial to use STATISTICA's options
for creating new data files containing random subsets of data contained in
the parent files. See how a random subset is created from a file containing
100,000 data cases.

Use Microscrolls
In this demonstration, see how microscrolls, a flexible interface with full
mouse and keyboard support, aid interactive input of numerical values in
STATISTICA. Microscrolls are available in every dialog with numerical input
options, and greatly increase the speed and efficiency of the user interface.
ActiveX Controls
With STATISTICA, you can embed Active X controls into graphs. Active X
controls provide the capability to create a custom user interface. This video
demonstrates the use of a slider control and how it can be used to create a
highly interactive graph.
Web-Browser
This demonstration shows how browser windows in STATISTICA are useful
for viewing WebSTATISTICA HTML output reports, as well as viewing
custom-made web interfaces that seamlessly interact with STATISTICA.
