Probability and Statistics
The newest additions and improvements to probability and statistics functionality focus on data located in space and time. The new spatial analysis functions allow you to find the central location or central data element, depending on the distance function specific to the data type: geolocations, images, texts, dates, etc. In addition, more robust measures of location and dispersion were added to provide better analysis for numeric data with outliers and coming from heavy-tail distributions. Numerous performance improvements allow for enhanced data examination, processing and modeling.
