Salford Systems techinical specialist meeting with past and prospective customers.
Ingo Bentrott, Salford Systems' technical specialist, based in San Diego Head Quarters will be in Australia from Thursday, May 2nd until Friday May 24th to meet with prospective and past customers.
He will be discussing CART4 Classification and Regression - Data mining software and assisting with any technical questions. He will work with you on your own datasets and show you similar scenarios as to how this software can be beneficial to you.
Whether you want to use CART to predict a basic yes/no response or very large scale multi-class problems involving thousands of possible outcomes, CART will perform.
Here are some quotes from existing customers who found CART to be effective in their environment:
Banking & Finance
"CART offers two distinctive advantages
that other database segmentation tools do not. First, it allows the
analyst to identify the smallest target segment possible, such as 10
out of the tens of thousands, with exceptional precision. In addition,
CART allows us to specify a higher penalty for misclassifying a
potentially poor prospect than for rejecting a good one; this makes us
more confident that, for products with very thin margins, our
segmentation models avoid prospects who would likely be non-profitable.
CART is an invaluable data-mining and modeling tool for the Fleet
Financial Group." Fleet Financial Group.
Marketing
"CART's recursive partitioning abilities give us a
proven statistical method for generating marketing models in an easy to
understand decision tree format" Pre Vision Marketing
Academic
"As a research scientist in both academic and
professional environments, I work with databases too large and complex
to process manually. CART, unlike multiple linear programming and other
methods that are constrained by functional forms, shows me truer
characterizations of interrelationships between the data. CART is also
a robust program that can support a divers set of applications ranging,
in my case, from food security analyses to pattern recognition and
remote sensing problems." University of Arizona Food Security &
Remote Sensing Researcher
