The Spotfire-Statistica Integration 

Spot­fi­re can easi­ly inte­gra­te ana­ly­ti­cal pro­ces­ses desi­gned in Sta­tis­ti­ca (so cal­led workspaces). This enables advan­ced analytics, machi­ne lear­ning and much more to be used and made available to all users of Spot­fi­re dash­boards.

What is Statistica? 

Sta­tis­ti­ca is a Data Science plat­form, with a very high matu­ri­ty and an expan­si­ve fea­ture set. Sta­tis­ti­ca offers any­thing from clas­si­cal sta­tis­tics over regres­si­on model­ling, to indus­tri­al sta­tis­tics inclu­ding SPC, DOE to machi­ne lear­ning and data mining models of all sorts. 

What is Spotfire? 

Spot­fi­re is a soft­ware for visu­al Data Science and espe­ci­al­ly well sui­ted when data should be inte­gra­ted and pre­sen­ted in a meaningful way. Spot­fi­re offers a multi­tu­de of dif­fe­rent visua­liza­ti­on with a high level of inter­ac­ti­vi­ty. Tho­se visua­liza­ti­ons are arran­ged in dash­boards, which can be cus­tom-tail­o­red to per­fect­ly fit the con­su­mers’ needs and exper­ti­se. 

Advan­ta­ges 

Spot­fi­re and Sta­tis­ti­ca are powerful stand-alo­ne appli­ca­ti­ons that enable their cor­re­spon­ding experts to be high­ly pro­duc­ti­ve in each tool.  

When joi­n­ed tog­e­ther it beco­mes pos­si­ble to build new types of solu­ti­ons, espe­ci­al­ly sui­ted for inter­di­sci­pli­na­ry work­flows: 

  • Solu­ti­ons can be dis­tri­bu­ted very easi­ly in the orga­niza­ti­on. Access is pos­si­ble through the ser­ver. No local instal­la­ti­on is requi­red which makes mobi­le access is pos­si­ble. 
  • It is pos­si­ble build solu­ti­ons that are made available bey­ond the own orga­niza­ti­on: for cus­to­mers or poten­ti­al­ly for any­bo­dy. 
  • Solu­ti­ons can be cus­tom built to fit the needs and talents of the users. Based on the requi­re­ments, con­su­mers can be ser­ved with just the info they need, or experts can be pro­vi­ded with deep access to data and insights. 
  • Gover­nan­ce aspects can be con­side­red ful­ly. Access can be con­trol­led in fine detail.  
Spotfire plus Statistica 

Exis­ting Spot­fi­re cus­to­mers app­re­cia­te about the Sta­tis­ti­ca inte­gra­ti­on that they now pos­sess a solu­ti­on to enhan­ce dash­boards with com­plex ana­ly­ti­cal com­pon­ents and data pro­ces­sing fea­tures. And that with a low code / no code tool, that fol­low a WYSIWYG approach („What you see is what you get“) that is simi­lar to Spotfire’s. 

Statistica plus Spotfire 

Exis­ting Sta­tis­ti­ca user bene­fit from the pos­si­bi­li­ty to dis­tri­bu­te ana­ly­ses - that were pre­vious­ly exclu­si­ve to data science experts – among the orga­niza­ti­on and enable insights from data for any­bo­dy. Here the inter­ac­ti­ve Spot­fi­re visua­liza­ti­ons come in han­dy to make data more approacha­ble, and enable the users to drill deeper whe­re nee­ded. 

The integration 

The inte­gra­ti­on works sur­pri­sin­gly easy.  

  1. Crea­te a workspace in Sta­tis­ti­ca. It con­ta­ins input data, some pro­ces­sing and results as an out­put. The workspace is being stored local­ly or in Sta­tis­ti­ca Ser­ver (Enter­pri­se).  
  2. In Spot­fi­re this workspace is being added as a Data Func­tion. Input data sets are being sel­ec­ted to be sent over to Sta­tis­ti­ca, para­me­ters of workspace nodes can be con­fi­gu­red, and the results for fur­ther use in Spot­fi­re can be sel­ec­ted. All of this hap­pens in a simp­le con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on dia­log. The workspace can be embedded in the dash­board or stay in place, depen­ding on the requi­re­ments. 

Examp­les 

Cus­to­mers use the inte­gra­ti­on for various sce­na­ri­os: 

  • Ana­ly­sis of expe­ri­ments that have been desi­gned via design of expe­ri­ments (DOE) in semi-con­duc­tor manu­fac­tu­ring. 
  • Mul­ti­va­ria­te sta­tis­ti­cal pro­cess con­trol (MSPC or MVA) in phar­maceu­ti­cal manu­fac­tu­ring.
