DISCOVER THE TRENDS AND
PATTERNS IN YOUR DATA

As an MS Excel™ add-on, our iData Analyzer software tool has been used in a diverse set of industries from healthcare and medical informatics to finance and telecommunications. Specific applications include: business intelligence, database cleansing, data warehouse development prototyping, domain and attribute correlation, manufacturing failure analysis, and stock price prediction.

With the power of a neural network building tool coupled with our proprietary data mining technology, we invite you to explore how iData Analyzer can help you.

Finally, a business intelligence tool that can be easily used by anyone with a PC and MS Excel. As an Excel add-on, iData Analyzer employs "state-of-the-art" artificial intelligence technology to unveil hidden knowledge from any spreadsheet of source data.

DISCOVER HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE

Find trends and patterns that may exist in your data using iData Analyzer. Once installed, simply mouse-clicking a single menu item from the Excel menu bar launches the iData Analyzer data mining engine. Results are deposited to a summary sheet and the user is prompted to generate understandable, "human readable" business rules.

The summary sheet contains overall characteristics of the source data grouped into "classes". Each class identifies records called "instances" that are similar. By examining the "most typical" instance found in each class, the user is able to get a good feel for the overall class makeup (e.g., what do these instances have in common?).

BUSINESS RULES

Business rules take the form:

If income-range = 40-50,000 Then
Credit Score = High

The primary value of these business rules lies in their ability to summarize results in a "human readable" format for layman users as well as data mining experts.

Installation of iData Analyzer is made easy by invoking a simple Setup routine.

iData Analyzer is sold as "trialware" where every user is given the opportunity to try the software prior to making a purchase decision.

iData Analyzer is a single button operation based on MS Excel’s familiar graphical user interface.

Special Features:

1) Help Create Target Data Sets.
iData Analyzer can help to determine the best attributes for inclusion in your data warehouse. Whether your planning to launch a data warehouse initiative or simply want to gauge the effectiveness of your existing data warehouse, iData Analyzer has proven to be an effective software tool.

2) Supports supervised as well as unsupervised learning.

3) Offer Insight in Interpreting and Determining the Practical Value of Discovered Knowledge.
Uses a data structure that allows domain instances to be retained once they are processed. Because of this, valuable knowledge contained within the instances is not lost once data mining is complete.

4) Find Irregularities in Data.
Can be used for data cleansing by pointing out inconsistencies and unusual data values that may be present in the data.

5) In supervised classification, iData Analyzer can be used to determine instances and attributes best able to classify new instances of unknown origin.

6) During unsupervised classification, iData Analyzer uses a globally optimizing evaluation function that discourages the formation of concepts of less than optimal quality.

7) Perform Data Mining.
Can classify in domains containing both categorical and numerical data.

8) Able to explain its behavior.

9) Statistical assumptions about the nature of the data to be processed are unnecessary.

8) iData Analyzer may be used to:
o create target data sets for model building,
o find irregularities in data,
o perform data mining, and
o offer insight in interpreting and determining the practical value of discovered knowledge.
