Witness Miner: 
 
WITNESS Miner is a graphical data mining tool comprising a collection of data structures and algorithms written specifically for the tasks required in knowledge discovery. Designed to be easy to use, it provides a visual method of constructing streams, containing data preparation and datamining tasks that form the knowledge discovery process.

Key features of the solution include:
- decision trees
- clustering
- discretization
- feature subset selection
- rule induction using modern heuristic techniques
- the ability to handle missing values
- host of standard data processing tools
- HTML output and in the case of the decision tree, XML output options
 
Today’s organizations collect a large amount of operational data relating to all kinds of activities. If properly analyzed, this data can have a significant effect on a company’s performance and profitability. WITNESS Miner provides both a useful tool and the project framework for such investigations.

Benefits
WITNESS Miner offers a way of making sense of data in Manufacturing, Finance, Health, Retail and Government. It provides knowledge from raw data through, data analysis, easy data modeling, powerful rule evaluation and high quality reporting. Most importantly, it allows an exploration of data to determine fundamental relationships that affect business.

The WITNESS Miner module offers easy to understand rules generated directly from the data. Rules determined are expressed in simple terms and enable simple decision rules to be implemented at many stages of key processes in order to affect service levels, costs and other major performance indicators.

Explore Your Business
Whatever the level of information, WITNESS Miner helps you organize it using a series of process steps from raw data at one end, to knowledge extraction at the other. Important steps such as assessing and correcting erroneous data, and taking account of missing data are all covered.

Data is sorted and sampled for fast analysis using techniques such as discretization and correlation, to assess and prepare data optimally for heuristic analysis. Getting data into WITNESS Miner is also very easy. Files formatted in CSV format are the quickest method or data can be extracted directly from databases through WITNESS Miner’s direct ODBC (OLEDB) connectivity.

A user-friendly solution, models are easy to construct using the mouse. Simple dialogs guide the new user to make analysis easy. In addition, WITNESS Miner provides many Wizards to guide you easily through the set-ups. Included in the package are several advanced mathematical techniques and tools that complement the rule-finding algorithm.

WITNESS Miner is simply a great way of analyzing and looking for patterns in data. It helps you extract vital information that can make all the difference in your decision-making.
