Cornerstone CEDA 1.3 is Now Available

Introducing R Version Selection for Greater Flexibility and Compatibility

camLine announces the release of CEDA 1.3, a Cornerstone add-on featuring a new R Version Selection capability. Users can now choose which installed version of R is used when executing R scripts within the CEDA environment.

What’s New in CEDA 1.3?

Analytics teams may work with multiple R installations and packages that depend on specific R versions. CEDA 1.3 addresses this challenge by allowing users to select either the latest installed R version or a specific version available on their machine. This helps maintain compatibility with existing scripts, packages, and validated workflows.

The selected R version is stored individually for each R script object within the Workmap. Different scripts in the same project can therefore use different R versions when required, supporting reproducibility and the long-term maintenance of analytics workflows.

CEDA 1.3 is now available and requires Cornerstone 8.2.

Key Benefits of R Version Selection in CEDA 1.3

• Support for multiple installed R versions
• Per-script R version configuration
• No administrator rights required
• Improved compatibility with version-dependent scripts and packages

Integrated Into Existing CEDA Workflows

Users can select their preferred R version directly within the R Script execution dialog, while CEDA automatically manages the underlying connection to the R backend.

CEDA 1.3 also maintains backward compatibility with projects created in previous versions, supporting a smooth transition for existing users.

The new functionality strengthens CEDA’s support for diverse analytics environments and helps organizations maintain reliable, reproducible R-based workflows across teams and projects.

About CEDA

CEDA, or Common Engineering Data Analytics, is a Cornerstone add-on that provides advanced functionality for automated data analysis. Its dynamic Workmaps allow users to perform multiple actions across data columns, apply user-defined rules, and rerun scripts on different datasets.

CEDA also supports data formats enriched with metadata and provides additional statistical analysis tools, including Cp/Cpk analyses and signature plots. These capabilities help users build repeatable analytical workflows and apply them across different datasets.
