Introduction to ESTARD Data Miner

ESTARD Data Miner (EDM) is a data mining tool, able to discover most unexpected hidden information in your data. Most databases contain data that is accumulated for many years. These databases (also called data warehouses) can become a valuable source of new knowledge for your analysists. The newest business intelligence techniques were incorporated into ESTARD Data Miner for carrying out automated data analysis. User-friendly interface and wizards allow to start working with the tool in a few clicks.

In comparison to common business intelligence tools, ESTARD Data Miner is able to provide you with something more than just operating statistics - it gives you power to work with predictive analysis.

Predictive analysis is a business intelligence method for creating decision models. ESTARD Data Miner creates predictive models in "if-then" form. Such models can be implemented in any field of business or science. For example, EDM can create models describing customers with high risk of bad debt. These models can be used for detecting what a company can expect from a new client. The probability of created decision models and size of data patterns they describe are set by you.

The unique feature of ESTARD Data Miner is the analysis flexability. The newest data mining algorithms allow to perform knowledge discovery with no limits. Another special feature of the program is that the discovered knowledge can be easily used for prediction and searching for data patterns in databases.

Main ESTARD Data Miner Functions

ESTARD Data Miner is a powerful end-to-end analytical solution, some of it's functions are:

• statistics analysis,

• creating profiles, also called decision (if-then) rules,

• decision trees,

• anomalies searching,

• WHAT-IF analysis,

• testing obtained data models,

• searching for data patterns in tables with the use of rules and decision trees.

The created decision models can be easily viewed and interpretated.

Discover the most significant features of data patterns, determine the influence of different values of the fields on each other and implement the new knowledge just in a few steps.

Fields of Application

Fields of ESTARD Data Miner application vary from data mining in business: insurance industry, banking and marketing up to medicine, education and various fields of science. ESTARD Data Miner can improve processes in any field, related to decision making or database analysis.
