Release 4.000 [2021-02-05]

New Features

  • DLabPascal now provides an integrated debugger
  • several extensions of the built-in DLabPascal library
  • signal integration tool
  • a tool for calculating binary classifier metrics
  • new statistical test: median test

Improvements and Changes

  • Wilcoxon test report now displays the median of the differences as well
  • redesigned random forest form
  • a variable set repository makes the selection of variables much more convenient
  • the RF applicator has now an option to create binary results for classifiers
  • the PLS Applicator now shows the CF thresholds and allows to store the results in the aux. maxtrix or append it to the data matrix
  • the data editor now supports ^C and ^V for copy and paste (instead of 'extract from clipboard')
  • refurbished k-means clustering
  • RBF network extended
  • PLS/DA now displays more classifier metrics (same as MBL)
  • numerical editor: row names are now displayed using a much longer maximal length; two additional fonts (Tahoma, Verdana) included
  • MLR and Ridge Regression diagrams provide now more plot options
  • memory based learner improved in many details
  • refurbished Kohonen map
  • improved edit/selection mode in data description window
  • additional performance metrics for RF classifiers
  • formula editor now uses the ° symbol as cell reference

  • the default class color palette has been improved

 

Release 3.951 [2020-03-26]

New Features

  • Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA)
  • new statistical tests: chi2 goodness-of-fit, contingency analysis, adjusted Rand index
  • extended DLabPascal:
    • full support of the programmatic control of the plot parameters
    • many extensions of the built-in library
    • memory based learner (kNN) is now supported by DLabPascal
  • univariate regression tool can now generate a DLabPascal script

Improvements and Changes

  • user interface of the growing neural network improvd
  • added a new and better language selection dialog
  • the symbol used for dot attribute in 2d plots can now be selected by the user
  • all save dialogs are now exhibiting a consistent user interface
  • major revision of the memory based learner (kNN)

Release 3.910 [2019-03-29]

New Features

  • DataLab provides now an "open windows" selector which allows to switch between windows
  • the data plots now provide a graphical marking tool to apply red and blue marks using either a lasso or a rectangle
  • DataLab offers now a universal scripting language called DLabPascal which allows to automate recurring tasks
  • the newly implemented memory based learning tool provides powerful option both for regression modelling and classification
  • a new baseline correction tool allows to correct the baseline of a signal
  • all windows can now be detached from the DataLab master window to allow for multiple monitors
  • DataLab now supports random forest models (both regression models and classifiers)
  • contingency analysis and Fisher's exact test are now available for the analysis of nominal data

Improvements and Changes

  • pressing the ESC key now closes the current window (if appropriate)
  • various MLR improvements: Cook's distance is now calculated and displayed as a graph; Durbin-Watson-Test now displays the critical limits and the decision
  • drawn from the test; added 'copy y-hat to matrix clipboard' to the MLR results page;
  • ridge regression: implemented a trace of parameter significance
  • fixed zoom mode of 2D plots improved
  • implemented binomal distribution in distribution calculator
  • the desktop color can now be set by the user
  • the digitizer accepts now PNG images as well
  • extended 2D data designer: data can be loaded from main data table; two specific columns of the data matrix can be overwritten
  • the plot window now has coordinate and object display
  • the scaling tool now supports q-normalisation ánd squashing functions
  • various improvements of the simple regression tool: data points can now be connected, polynomial coefficients are now evaluated by adding the p-values, residuals can now be plotted against the object index, plot parameters can now be adjusted
  • cluster analysis: base line is now moveable to allow for long object names
  • implemented the creation of mutually exclusive test and training sets in the data split tool
