This report summarizes existing statistical engines in VTK/Titan and presents the recently parallelized multi-correlative and principal component analysis engines. It is a sequel to [PT08] which studied the parallel descriptive and correlative engines. The ease of use of these parallel engines is illustrated by the means of C++ code snippets. Furthermore, this report justifies the design of these engines with parallel scalability in mind; then, this theoretical property is verified with test runs that demonstrate optimal parallel speed-up with up to 200 processors.
