Last week, StatSoft representatives, Gary Miner and Rob Eames, participated in the Predictive Analytics World (PAW) conference in the Washington D.C. area (Alexandria, VA). The PAW event has become the largest conference on business applications of predictive modeling, focusing on talks about applying predictive modeling to business objectives such as fraud, customer segmentation, response modeling and optimization, etc. Gary and Rob report that the current buzz from show attendees is: Deployment of Models for Scoring. Attendees were very interested in the STATISTICA Live Score solution for the utilization of predictive models across various lines of business applications. Attendees asked repeatedly “How do we take the models we build on historical data and utilize them ongoing for marketing applications, custom... Read More »
StatSoft participated in the Quality Expo conference in Chicago, IL earlier this month. There were 4 trends from the discussions we had with conference attendees: 1. More than ever, companies are ready to move beyond "desktop" software for quality and Six Sigma analytics. There was a great buzz around the STATISTICA Enterprise/QC software platform for enabling analysts, engineers, and quality professionals, to take the integration of quality methods and Six Sigma into the organization. 2. Attendees are thinking about extending their current quality tools with Multivariate Quality Control (MQC) and Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC), augmenting what they are doing now with univariate Quality Control. 3. STATISTICA Monitoring & Alerting Server (MAS): Companies are very interested in ways to automate the monitoring of unlimited processes and parameters with convenient,... Read More »

One of the many useful features available to STATISTICA users is the ability to create customized graphs from a data set and then to save these customized graphs to the Graphs menu as User-defined Graphs. You can use the user-defined graphs facilities to save all of the options specified during the initial graph specification in the form of a new graph “type.” This graph can then be used with the same or a different input data file to create similar analytic or presentation output with a minimum of required input.
