Welcome to Datalystica
Relax, our software does most of the analysis for you
Are you currently analyzing multivariate data and are overwhelmed by it?
Are you seeking for a deeper understanding of the variabilities and concentrations of your data by applying dimensionality reduction and mass balance tools, such as positive matrix factorization (PMF)?
Do have a complex dataset such as measured indoor/outdoor air pollution, water pollution, chemical composition during reaction and wonder which source is present at what time and to which extent?
We offer fast software solutions for factor analytic problems on multivariate data, i.e. source apportionment, any kind of data!
Datalystica develops source apportionment software for environmental research and monitoring applications. Our core product, Source Finder (SoFi), is a receptor modelling tool designed to be both methodologically rigorous and accessible — whether you are an experienced PMF analyst or approaching source apportionment for the first time.
SoFi comes in two configurations. SoFi Pro supports offline analysis of accumulated datasets, with a comprehensive and state-of-the-art toolset covering everything from data preparation, to PMF calculations, and to post-analysis — including rolling PMF for time-varying source profiles. With SoFi RT, we extended source apportionment to real-time data streams, enabling continuous source attribution from live instrument feeds.
