Malmö, Sweden, — Umetrics announces the release of SIMCA-Q 13, state-of-the-art multivariate building block for original equipment manufacturers.

Regardless of whether you want to embed a computational engine into your own software, have access to a multivariate toolbox from within MATLAB®, LabVIEW, Excel or a web page, or simply perform standardized routine multivariate tasks ? SIMCA-Q is the solution!

SIMCA-Q simplifies and speeds up routine multivariate data analysis work in a user-recognized environment allowing the user to focus on the results. SIMCA-Q reduces the risk of human errors by automating multivariate modeling or predictions.

The multivariate approach

Multivariate methods build models from the correlation structure between parameters in large volumes of data that may contain missing values. This enables highly valuable prediction models, data overviews, classification possibilities, cluster analysis, batch analysis and hierarchical models.
