Press Release 10/5/97

 

KnowledgeMiner 2.0 the Revolutionary Modeling and

Prediction Tool for Macintosh Computers

 

KnowledgeMiner can be downloaded free now from:

www.scriptsoftware.com

 

KnowledgeMiner is a powerful, easy-to-use modeling and

prediction tool which was designed to support the knowledge

extraction process from data in a highly automated way. It

works using two advanced self-organizing modeling

technologies: Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) and

Analog Complexing. This is the first time that both of these

algorithms have been available on any computer platform.

 

Built on the cybernetic principles of self-organization,

KnowledgeMiner brings high-end modeling capabilities to your

desktop without the need for an expert. It can learn completely

unknown relationships between the outputs and inputs of a given

system in an evolutionary way from a very simple organization

to an optimally complex one by itself.

 

KnowledgeMiner has been used successfully for analysis and

prediction in the fields of finance, economics, imaging,

ecology, health, biotechnology, chemistry, math and many

others. Professionals in many areas can benefit by downloading

and trying out the examples then using this tool to mine their

own field for new relationships.

 

In comparison with statistical modeling tools and neural

networks KnowledgeMiner stands out as easier, faster and more

applicable to a wide range of real-world problems since it

creates the model structure or network topology automatically

without predefinition. This makes KnowledgeMiner the least

expensive and most effective modeling and prediction tool

available on any platform.

 

KnowledgeMiner New Features and Changes

 

- optimized for PPC and 68kFPU based Macs

- PPC native app runs 8-10 times faster than 68k based version

Now it is possible to mine very large data sets for relevant

relations or patterns within minutes instead of days.

- Analog Complexing

- available for the first time on a personal computer (Mac) as shareware.

- shows automatically a prediction interval graphically (the calculated

possible upper and lower limits) along with the most likely prediction of

points. Now a prediction consists not only of sharp points but reflects also

the inherent fuzziness and uncertainty of the objects. Applied to financial

time series forecasting, e.g., this view focuses on the demand to consider the

volatility of assets to get more reliable forecasts and decisions.

- optimized modeling algorithms to make self-organization of structures and

knowledge extraction from data far more effective than neural networks or

statistics

 

- Lite version

- now has a larger table to work with data

- two levels to setup modeling

- a standard and

- an advanced modeling setup dialog
