Cancel: Click the Cancel button to close the Startup Panel without performing an analysis.
Options: See Options Menu for descriptions of the commands on this menu.
Open Data: Click the Open Data button to display the Select Data Source dialog box, which contains options to choose the spreadsheet on which to perform the analysis. The Select Data Source dialog box contains a list of the spreadsheets that are currently active.
Select Cases: Click the Select Cases button to display the Analysis/Graph Case Selection Conditions dialog box, which contains options to create conditions for which cases will be included (or excluded) in the current analysis. More information is available in the case selection conditions overview, syntax summary, and dialog description.
W: Click the W (Weight) button to display the Analysis/Graph Case Weights dialog box, which contains options to adjust the contribution of individual cases to the outcome of the current analysis by "weighting" those cases in proportion to the values of a selected variable.
MD deletion: Use the MD deletion group box to specify how STATISTICA should handle missing data. If Casewise deletion of missing data is selected, STATISTICA will ignore all cases that have missing data for any of the variables selected in the list. If Pairwise deletion of missing data is selected, all valid data points will be included in the analyses for the respective variables (resulting possibly in unequal valid N per variable).
