The second edition of Michael Greenacre's book Correspondence Analysis in Practice has been published by Chapman & Hall /CRC Press. This book has been completely rewritten compared to the first edition published in 1993.

This edition is characterized by a long section on computational aspects and Michael demonstrates the use of two software packages - R and XLSTAT - for correspondence analysis and its variants, multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA).

Excel Basics to Blackbelt by Dr. Elliot Bendoly, Associate Professor at the Goizueta Business School, Emory University, is recommended by Addinsoft, as it is designed to enhance the skills of Excel users, to enable them to reach to a level of mastery that will allow them to develop user interfaces and automated applications. To accomplish this, the major theme of the text is “the integration of the basic”; as a result readers will be able to develop decision support tools that are at once highly intuitive from a working-components perspective but also highly significant from the perspective of practical use and distribution. Applications integration discussed includes the use of MS MapPoint, XLSTAT and RISKOptimizer, as well as how to leverage Excel’s iteration mode, web queries, visual basic code, and interface development. There are ample examples throughout the text.

Addinsoft continues its efforts to constantly innovate by offering news tools oriented towards applications.

After releasing the EasyPoints tool in March, useful to any Excel user, we bring a new and unique feature in XLSTAT-ADA: PLS-CCA. PLS-CCA is a new way to do canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) with an automatic variable selection based on PLS regression. Although CCA is mostly used by ecologists, we do think CCA should also be used in geo-marketing or in sensory analysis as it allows to relate measured dimensions to a contingency table.

Survival analysts will be pleased to see the Cox regression added to the XLSTAT-Life module. XLSTAT-Life users with an active maintenance plan have a free access to that upgrade.
