Visual Numerics(R) Enhances Historical Analysis and Forecasting, Usability for PV-WAVE Visual Data Analysis Software
(Market Wire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) HOUSTON, TX, October 2 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Visual
Numerics, Inc., a leading producer of advanced numerical analysis
and visualization
software, today announced the general availability of PV-WAVE
version 9.0, the next generation of the company's industry-leading visual
data analysis software, with new analysis features, expanded usability and
performance, and broader platform support. With PV-WAVE 9.0, Visual
Numerics enables engineers, scientists and business analysts in a variety
of industries to build visual analysis applications on a wider range of
platforms, as well as perform data mining and forecasting of large and
complex data sets to better understand trends, patterns and anomalies in
their data.
Companies in data-intensive industries, such as financial services and
retail, collect massive amounts of data about customers and business
transactions. However, oftentimes they don't have sophisticated,
customizable analysis tools to identify patterns or future trends from that
data. PV-WAVE helps companies develop proprietary applications to better
analyze large complex data sets, and make critical business decisions with
confidence. Embedded analytics from the IMSL C Library provide both
backward analysis and forward predictions on collected data, while the
robust PV-WAVE graphics and visualization engine efficiently illustrates
data sets using n-dimensional charts, heat maps, and contour maps.
PV-WAVE 9.0's new features include:
-- IMSL C Library version 5.5 and 6.0 Integration -- Access to many
new algorithms including Auto_ARIMA forecasting and neural network engine
for data mining and forecasting
-- OpenMP support for Windows XP -- Offers higher performance for PV-WAVE
array operations on Windows
-- Fast Radial Basis Functions -- New interpolation algorithm that
accommodates very general datasets
-- Eclipse Plug-in -- Allows users to leverage the Eclipse open source
integrated development environment (IDE) for development and debugging, and
enables new users to more quickly become proficient with PV-WAVE
-- Additional Platform Support -- Provides users with additional options
for using PV-WAVE in different hardware and software environments including
Oracle (Linux 32 and 64 bit, Solaris 64 bit) and Windows XP 64 bit
"We're continuing to invest in PV-WAVE for our customers by providing the
highest quality development features and algorithms that enhance usability
and performance of our sophisticated visualization and analysis tools,"
said Phil Fraher, president and CEO of Visual Numerics. "Our goal is to
ensure customers have the right tools to produce faster, more accurate
analysis results in data-intensive industries, so they can better service
their own customers and maintain a competitive advantage."
