TIBCO® Data Science Service for TIBCO Spotfire® Overview

TIBCO® Data Science Service for TIBCO Spotfire® (also known as Statistica Service) is a REST API web service that enables users to concurrently access Statistica capabilities in Spotfire enviroment. It supports execution of Statistica data functions submitted by TIBCO Spotfire® Analyst or TIBCO Spotfire® Consumer users.

Statistica data functions are reusable and parameterizable analytic operations that are defined in Spotfire environment. Data functions are implemented by analytic engines such as TERR (as scripts) or Statistica (as workflows).

For example, you can use a data function as a transformation step when you add or replace data tables.
