Don’t think I am qualified, but got a chance to interact
with a professional from Statistica and thought of sharing few things about the
tool
·
It has amazing integration with ms suites , may
be something in the cards
·
Import is easy and wizard driven , supports
multitude of data files ,allows connection with a file as well as database
·
It also allows to work on data from multiple
sources
·
It has good statistical capabilities
·
Did not get a chance to look at all
functionality
·
Correlation and Regression looked good with
linear, multiple, factor regression
·
Help files are good and comes with quite a few
sample datasets
·
To me a winner is , it’s vba coding interface ,
which will make life simpler
·
You do not necessarily , need to bring all data
locally and process , there is a technique available for the same as well
I know , this is tip of the ice berg , but just thought of
sharing what ever I gathered, will keep you posted.
