What's new in STATISTICA 6 Simplified User Interface - Users of STATISTICA Version 6 will enjoy a simplified interface that can be individually tailored to their needs. Simplified analysis selection dialogs, "Quick Tabs," allow for quick access to critical results, while "Advanced Tabs" provide access to more specialised tools. Shortcuts can be created to any part of the program and menus can be customised to include user-defined options, macros and formats. Convenient Workbooks And Reports - Output options include a flexible Workbook and Reporting functionality capable of managing practically unlimited numbers of active, multimedia documents (both STATISTICA native and ActiveX documents). Visual Basic Scripting - The built-in, industry standard Visual Basic scripting language allows novices to easily record logs of analyses to automate routine tasks and programmers to access directly every aspect of the program to develop elaborate custom applications. Direct interfaces can easily be developed between STATISTICA and other applications (e.g., MS Excel, MS SQL Server, Oracle, etc.). The functionality of STATISTICA can be accessed directly using a variety of programming languages (e.g., VB, C++/C, Java, etc.). Full Web-Enablement Options - Both input and output in Version 6 can be handled via the Internet. Users can not only automatically publish their output on the Web but can also access STATISTICA from practically any computer in the world via the internet. New Statistical Methods - General Discriminant Function Analysis, Enhanced Classification and Regression Trees, Nonlinear Estimation Routines, Advanced Principal Components and Classification Analysis have been added to the program. Graphics - Advanced support for active compound graphs gives users more visualisation and exploratory functionality. A unique new "interactive 3D explorer" tool allows users to brush or zoom precisely selected subsets of data by "slicing" 3D space (with the mouse). Unlimited Capacity Virtually all system limitations have been removed. Multiple copies of STATISTICA can operate simultaneously, each processing multiple and concurrently open data files. An unlimited number of variables can be stored in the new system data files, while text values, labels, variable names and case names can store virtually unlimited number of characters. Speed - A New generation of optimisations improve even the fast analysis speeds of the previous version. These optimisations are especially useful when accessing enterprise databases and analysing large amounts of information. Countless other enhancements and new features make STATISTICA Version 6 unique. STATISTICA Version 6 is compatible with Windows 95/98/NT/2000.
