Fast, friendly data analysis now with even bigger benefits, and just as easy to use as ever!

New in FastStats Classic

NEW!  Thematic Tables show even clearer presentation of cross tabs with colour highlighting of cell values by 8 different rules

Thematic Table

 

 

 

In this case, the darker colour shows the higher numbers

NEW!  Printing and reporting for more flexible output, including HTML

NEW!  Venn diagrams for easy interpretation of overlapping subsets of your data. Now visualise the selections that you make in graphics and colour

NEW!   Mapping connections for easy integration with your GIS package. Visualise spatial elements of your data

Map of UK

Tactician and MapInfo connection scripts from Technologies4Targeting for bi-directional mapping integration.

Create Thematic Maps from within FastStats to show the distribution of records within your current selection. Configure Tactician or MapInfo to show the details you require such as labels, percentages etc.

Use Tactician or MapInfo tools to select from the geographical data and use the selection directly within FastStats.

NEW!   Improved compression for even faster counting and analysis. Save up to 75% of the space required for your FastStats system, and see the counts and analysis fly.

NEW!   "Instant Counts" for immediate results without even clicking the mouse.

Selector Window with Instant Count

Instant Count from the mouse position - updated as the mouse moves over the window. Instant Count of the selected  subset showing number of records and percentage of  database.

NEW!   Selection Overview for an easy to see summary of your current criteria.

NEW!   Selection Log to see the history of your work

NEW!   Results window for counts that can't be missed

NEW!   Column and Row Frequency Analysis

NEW!   Quality Control Document produced automatically on each refresh

NEW!  Simplified licensing

NEW!   Streamlined administrators toolkit

NEW!   Expanded selector mechanism for even bigger coded selectors

NEW!   Improved usability and presentation

NEW!   Tuneable compression engine

NEW!   Use Scripts to automate operations and integrate the FastStats system
            with other software packages

NEW!   Profiling Tools to allow one data subset to be measured against another

. . . and all of this at lightning speed!!

Even Faster

FastStats Classic is now even faster. A new compression mechanism means that the FastStats database engine stores your data in as little as 25% of the previous requirement. The reduced file size gives proportionally faster counts and analysis meaning that you benefit from improved response times even on the very biggest databases.

The new compression mechanism is entirely compatible with previous FastStats configurations - existing users can simply install the newer software and immediately start gaining the benefits.

Scripting

The newest FastStats has significantly extended scripting mechanisms allowing you to control other programs and to automate regular or complex procedures. The latest scripting tools allow you to control every aspect of your FastStats system - if you want to run a script every time you use FastStats, it is easy - if you want a new menu option to start a script, it is just as easy.

Profiling

Use the new FastStats profiling extension to prepare penetrations and Z-score comparisons of target and base groups. FastStats allows the use of simple selections, combination selections, reference number files or SPSS CHAID gains chart nodes to build profiles.

FastStats provides the following innovative features to help you benefit even more from your data analysis work:

  • continuous variable selection and analysis

  • recency-frequency-value selection

  • reference number files selection and suppression

  • file joins

  • extended support for relational data structures

  • automatic coding and categorical banding

  • SPSS CHAID segment selection *

  • enhanced import / export facilities

  • file managers for reference numbers, saved selections etc.

. . . and all this at lightning speed.

* SPSS CHAID support requires SPSS options pack add on module.

Continuous Variables

Select on continuous variables (both numeric and string) by entering ranges into a selection window.  Count, save, combine and export just like any other FastStats selection. Your ranges are automatically available for cross tabulations.

Recency-Frequency-Value Marketing Selections

Select on groups of records without needing to aggregate any customer / account / order information. Use any combination of "how many" and "how often", restricting your selection to the "first N" or "last N", use FastStats to implement your selection paradigm.

Recency - Frequency - Value Window

Reference Number Files

Use FastStats to select based on files of unique reference numbers. For example include or exclude account numbers previously selected by FastStats or other systems.

TFI File Joins

New TFI technology to join files and load on the fly into FastStats. This approach saves disk space and avoids time consuming SQL and ODBC calls.

Automatic Category Coding

Let FastStats categorise continuous data into user defined bands as data is loaded. FastStats provides programmed mappings to re-code postcodes, dates etc. into categories for selection. Use FastStats to search for codes in an input file. For example, if not all source or product codes are known FastStats will find them and set them up as a click-to-select variable.

Relational Data Support

Hold up to 8 levels of related data in any FastStats file. For example select on variables defined at household, customer and order level. FastStats handles all the complexities returning selection counts and tabular analysis at the chosen level.

CHAID Segment Selection

FastStats can open a CHAID Gains Chart, filter the best segments and import them as FastStats selections. CHAID segments investigated on a sample can then be run on the full database.

FastStats includes full charting facilities. Just one click turns a cross tabulation into a 3D chart.
