Scientific

Data mining software intended to build tree classification and regression or to perform other statistical datasets analysis.

SDA is a robust, easy-to-use decision tree tool that automatically sifts large, complex databases, searching for and isolating significant patterns and relationships. This discovered knowledge is then used to generate reliable, easy-to-grasp predictive models for applications such as profiling customers, targeting direct mailings, detecting telecommunications and credit card fraud, and managing credit risk. In addition, SDA is an excellent pre-processing complement to other data analysis techniques. For example, SDA's outputs (predicted values) can be used as inputs to improve the predictive accuracy of neural nets and logistic regression.

We are working on new features implementation, technical support and quality assurance of the product. Development is primarily concentrated on GUI features, since scientific engine is subject of various patenting issues. QA team works on both GUI and functional testing, including automated regression testing of both GUI and functional features.
