Partek Discovery Suite
Partek Discovery Suite integrates modern methods of data analysis and visualization with classical statistics enabling researchers to quickly find solutions to a wide variety of pattern analysis and recognition problems. Partek Discovery Suite is dedicated to providing the tools necessary to find correlations, contributions, cause and effect relationships, trends and predictability patterns, to solve complex pattern analysis and recognition problems, and to give dynamic interactive data visualizations to exemplify what the data is saying.
Partek Discovery Suite Software Install and Startup Instructions
- Uninstall the existing version (using the Add/Remove Programs dialog of the Control Panel).
- After the uninstallation, find and delete your partekrc.tcl file. It should be in your Windows HOME (typically, C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>). If the file cannot be found there or anywhere else on C:, then check any shared network drives that you use. It will likely be in whatever the Windows system variable "HOMEDRIVE" is set to (you can see its value from Start -> Run -> "cmd.exe", and then typing in "set home" (without the quotes) at the command prompt). This will have to be done under the HOME of each user that uses the software; that is, each user has a personal copy of the file.
- Then install the new version. (See the instructions below)
