DM: Re: Information about tools

Renata -

You can read about WizWhy in WizSoft's web: www.wizsoft.com

Bellow are answers to your questions:

Platform: WizWhy runs on Win 95 / Win 98 / Win NT
The data set can be on any platform, when reading is done through ODBC

Algorithm: WizWhy maintains 2 proprietary algorithms:
(1) An association rules algorithm (revels all the if-then rules)
(2) An algorithm that reveals mathematical formula rules (such as: 
Field A =
Field B x Field C).
WizWhy uses the rules to issue predictions.

Usability: WizWhy can be applied to any field and is not limited by 
the
number of records nor the naumber of fields.

Automation: To operate WizWhy the user has to select just the data 
set and
the dependent variable. The user can also fine tune the rule 
parameters,
(such as, how many cases needed to be discovered in order to declare 
the
existence of a rule, etc.)

If you need more information you can refer to our representative in
