Statistica originally derived from a set of software packages and add-ons that were initially developed during the mid-1980s byStatSoft. Following the 1986 release of Complete Statistical System (CSS) and the 1988 release of Macintosh Statistical System (MacSS), the firstDOS version (trademarked in capitals as STATISTICA) was released in 1991. In 1992, theMacintosh version of Statistica was released.
Statistica 5.0 was released in 1995. It ran on both the new32-bitWindows 95/NT and the previous16-bit version,Windows 3.1. It featured many new statistics and graphics procedures, a word-processor-style output editor (combining tables and graphs), and a built-in development environment that enabled the user to easily design new procedures (e.g., via the included Statistica Basic language) and integrate them with the Statistica system.
Statistica 5.1 was released in 1996 followed by Statistica CA '97 and Statistica '98 editions.
In 2001, Statistica 6 was based on theCOM architecture and it included multithreading and support fordistributed computing.
Statistica 9 was released in 2009, supporting 32-bit and64-bit computing.
Statistica 10 was released in November 2010. This release featured further performance optimizations for the 64-bit CPU architecture, as well asmultithreading technologies, integration with MicrosoftSharePoint,Microsoft Office 2010 and other applications, the ability to generateJava andC# code, and otherGUI andkernel improvements.[2]
Statistica 12 was released in April 2013 and features a new GUI, performance improvements when handling large amounts of data, a new visual analytic workspace, a new database query tool as well as several analytics enhancements.[2]

List of releases:[2]
Statistica includes analytic and exploratory graphs in addition to standard 2- and 3-dimensional graphs. Brushing actions (interactive labeling, marking, and data exclusion) allow for investigation ofoutliers and exploratory data analysis.
Operation of the software typically involves loading a table of data and applying statistical functions frompull-down menus or (in versions starting from 9.0) from theribbon bar. The menus then prompt for the variables to be included and the type of analysis required. It is not necessary to type command prompts. Each analysis may include graphical or tabular output and is stored in a separate workbook.
