Statistica
Statistica is a stand-alone software package that provides a complete statistics and data management environment that can work well with other software. Statistica (1991) grew out of a set of software packages and add-ons dating back to its original developer, StatSoft, in 1984. As of June 8, 2017, it is owned and developed by TIBCO Software, which released Version 14 in December 2020. The software provides a rich environment for single users and collaborating users to perform data management, statistical analysis, approval processes, and automation. This entry begins with a review of the statistics software environment and then details various attributes of the software; it ends with a brief discussion of the future of Statistica.
