Salford Systems delivers a portfolio of products capable of traditional descriptive analytics and predictive analytics. What distinguishes this company is the lack of hype around the technology it offers and a willingness to discuss the pitfalls and traps associated with predictive analytics – which ironically is a prerequisite for successful analytics. The SPM Salford Predictive Modeler supports both traditional descriptive and predictive analytics. CART (Classification and Regression Tree) supports classification and the discovery of hidden relationships between attributes. It embodies a number of proprietary methods and patented extensions to the original work done in the eighties. SAS predictive analytics is part of the very broad analytics capability offered by SAS. It not only offers the data preparation and data mining tools, but also a run-time environment. The main complaint is the cost. Skytree will primarily appeal to large organizations with some experience in the use of machine learning technologies; and in fact Skytree positions itself as ‘The Machine Learning Company’. Its Infinity platform provides the tools for analysts and data scientists to create predictive models, in a manner that is both productive and effective. Productivity benefits come from the automation of many tedious tasks that typically require weeks of fine tuning, and the effectiveness of the resulting predictive models is due mainly to the extensive data exploration tools, model performance monitoring, and the fact that most of the algorithms have been designed ground up, specifically for big data analytics. Statistica, now part of Dell, is an integrated predictive analytics tool, which includes text analytics and statistical analysis. It has recently gone through a makeover in Version 13, with support for streaming data. There’s a lot going on here and well worth a look.

Contrary to most other The main constructs are nodes (the entities python modules with similar functionality, the we are interested in – typically people), and core data structures and algorithms are the ties or edges that connect them. Many of implemented in C++, making extensive use of the products listed here are open source with template metaprogramming, based heavily on a license that permits free use in commercial the Boost Graph Library. This confers it a settings. level of performance that is comparable (both in memory usage and computation time) to Cuttlefish is a network workbench that of a pure C/C++ library. Graph-tool has application that visualizes the networks with its own layout algorithms and versatile, some of the best known layout algorithms. It interactive drawing routines based on cairo allows detailed visualizations of the network and GTK+, but it can also work as a very data, interactive manipulation of the layout, comfortable interface to the excellent graph edition and process visualization as graphviz package. well as different input methods and outputs in tex using Tikz and PSTricks.
