A data file format is the CSV file or the Excel file producted by Microsoft Corp. Previously, the file format should be selected in the Preference dialog box.
Case of an Excel file which could be used DDE only. ODBC was made not to be used for the current version. Besides DDE is not so good as usability, a CSV file is suggested to use as the data file.
It's easy to exclude variables due to select names of variables. It's also easy to bring back.
In Preference (Option/Preference), string lengths which are digits both variables and samples and graph expression could be set up.
String lengthes are set due to number of charactors, which would apply to expressions of name and numeral both of variables and samples. The decimal points would be optimized automatically. Of course it does not effect to accuracy of calculation but express only. However, significant values are not limited.
A graph could be set to express or not. In case of expression, scatter numbering and variables vector sizing could be set on the mappings of Principal Component and Principal Factor, Maximum Likelihood.
It has two screens as upper and lower. An upper screen is expressed contents of data file, a lower screen is expressed results of analysis. Contents of expression could be saved due to menu "File / lower Screen / Save As", and could be edited on the screens.
It's recommended to save as a CSV file, cause the output format is adjusted to express on a spread sheet except partial exception.
I feel it's not much to explain. It's easy to use the software with enough knowledge about the models.
It has five sorts and twenty-four analysis models, and enough methods and options, as follows.
