This document discusses combining the statistical power of R with the user-friendly interface of STATISTICA. Specifically, it proposes using the R DCOM Server to integrate specialized R packages and techniques into STATISTICA's interface. This would allow users to extend STATISTICA's functionality with R's extensive capabilities. As an example, the document describes how an ARL calculator for EWMA and CUSUM control charts could be programmed in R and integrated into STATISTICA using the spc package.
