TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services Service

TIBCO Spotfire® Statistics Services is a light-weight, flexible server that provides a communication layer, a service layer, and a TERR engine pool, among other features.

Spotfire® Statistics Services does not include user interface features, such as a GUI.

TIBCO Spotfire® Statistics Services can be deployed as a stand-alone server against which you can run analyses in one of its engines, or it can be depoyed as part of a Spotfire stack.

You can also use external engines, such as S-PLUS, open-source R, SAS®1, or MATLAB®, 2 if you have access to the corresponding software.

Spotfire Statistics Services builds on the comprehensive library of statistical and mathematical algorithms provided by TERR engines (or other engines) by offering enterprise-ready features.

These features include the following.

  • Centralized management.
  • Event logging.
  • Support for integration through a variety of programming languages.
  • Authentication and authorization.
  • Clustering.
  • Load balancing.
  • The capacity for multiple nodes to handle client requests.

Users submit jobs to an engine through the server, control job execution, and retrieve results. Administrators configure and maintain a cluster or a standalone installation.

Note: A Spotfire Statistics Services job is an arbitrary expression (script) or function, bundled with the data it is to execute upon.
