What Are the Major “Components” in a Typical SVB Macro Program?
When you record a macro program from an interactive analysis, you will notice several common components of the programs. STATISTICA Visual Basic is organized around analysis objects; for example, to run an analysis with the STATISTICA Basic Statistics module, you would first create an analysis object, with the constant scBasicStatistics and (optionally) with a datafile name (location of the file containing the input spreadsheet). To make access to the thousands of statistical functions and options available in the STATISTICA system as convenient as possible, STATISTICA Visual Basic maintains a very close correspondence between the dialogs as they are presented during interactive analyses, and the flow of the program. In a sense, once an analysis has been created, such as an analysis via the Basic Statistics module, you simply “program the dialogs” for the respective statistical analysis. Here is a brief breakdown of the components of a (typical) Analysis Macro program, recorded via Bas
