Product Description

Ultimate Classification Tree:

CART is the ultimate classification tree that has revolutionized the entire field of advanced analytics and inaugurated the current era of data mining. CART, which is continually being improved, is one of the most important tools in modern data minging. Others have tried to copy CART but no one has succeeded as evindeced by unmatched accuracy, performance, feature set, built-in automation and easue of use. Designed for both non-technical and technical users, CART can quicly reveal important data relatioinships that could remain hidden using other analytical tools..

Proprietary Code:

Technically, CART is based on landmark mathematical theory introduced in 1984 by four world-renowned statisticians at Stanford University and the University of California at Berkely. Salford Systems' implenmentation of CART is the only decision tree software embodying the original proprietary code. The CART creators continure to collaborate with Salford Systems to continually enhance CART with proprietary advances.

Fast and Versatile:

Patented extensions to CART are specifically designed to enhance results for market research and web analytics. CART supports high-speed deployment, allowing Salford models to predict and score in real time on a massive scale. Over the years CART has become known as the fastest and most verstaile predicitve modeling algorithm available to analyst it is also used as a foundation to many modern data mining approached based on bagging and boosting.



Principal Characteristics





Supported File Types

The CART® data-translation engine supports data conversions for more than 80 file formats, including popular statistical-analysis packages such as SAS® and SPSS®, databases such as Oracle and Informix, and spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel and Lotus 1-2-3.



Model Deployment

Any CART model can be easily deployed when translated into one of the supported languages (SAS®-compatible, C, Java, and PMML) or into the classic text output. This is critical for using your CART trees in large scale production work.

The decision logic of a CART tree, including the surrogate rules utilized if primary splitting values are missing, is automatically implemented. The resulting source code can be dropped into external applications, thus eliminating errors due to hand coding of decision rules and enabling fast and accurate model deployment.

Data Translation Engine

The CART® data-translation engine supports data conversions for more than 80 file formats, including popular statistical-analysis packages such as SAS® and SPSS®, databases such as Oracle and Informix, and spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel and Lotus 1-2-3.

Which version do you need?

Product Versions

ULTRA

System Technical Requirements

Windows

Minimum System Requirements

  • 80486 processor or higher.
  • 512MB of random-access memory (RAM). This value depends on the "size" you have purchased (64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GIG). While all versions may run with a minimum of 32MB of RAM, we CANNOT GUARANTEE it will.  We highly recommend that you follow the recommended memory configurationthat applies to the particular version you have purchased. Using less than the recommended memory configuration results in hard drive paging, reducing performance significantly, or application instability.
  • Hard disk with 40 MB of free space for program files, data file access utility, and sample data files.
  • Additional hard disk space for scratch files (with the required space contingent on the size of the input data set).
  • CD-ROM or DVD drive.

Recommended System Requirements

Because Salford Tools are extremely CPU intensive, the faster your CPU, the faster they will run. For optimal performance, we strongly recommend they run on a machine with a system configuration equal to, or greater than, the following:

  • Pentium 4 processor running 2.0+ GHz.
  • 2 GIG of random-access memory (RAM). This value depends on the "size" you have purchased (64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GIG). While all versions may run with a minimum of 32MB of RAM, we CANNOT GUARANTEE it will. We highly recommend that you follow the recommended memory configuration that applies to the particular version you have purchased. Using less than the recommended memory configuration results in hard drive paging, reducing performance significantly, or application instability.
  • Hard disk with 40 MB of free space for program files, data file access utility, and sample dta files.
  • Additional hard disk space for scratch files (with the required space contingent on the size of the input data set).
  • CD-ROM or DVD drive.
  • 2 GIG of additional hard disk space available for virtual memory and temporary files.
Ensuring Proper Permissions

If you are installing on a machine that uses security permissions, please read the following note:
  • You must belong to the Administrator group on Windows 2003 / 2008, Windows 7/8 to be able to properly install and license. ONce the application is installed and licensed, any member with read/wirte/modify permissions to the applications/ bin and temp directories can execute and run the application/

Licensing Application

CART uses a system of application system ID and associated unlock key. Upon installation completion, the user will need to email the application "system ID." This system ID is clearly displayed in the License Information displayed the first time the application is
started. You can alternatively get to this window by selecting the Help->License menu option.

Method 1: Fixed License
With a fixed license, each machine must have its own copy of the licensed program installed. If your license terms permit more than one copy, then the license must be activated on each machine that will be used.

Method 2: Floating License
This method of licensing your program is used if you intend the program application to be used by more than one user concurrently over a network. A floating license tracks the number of copies "checked out". When that number exceeds your license terms, a
message is provided informing the user "all copies are checked out". The licensed program may be installed on a machine that each client machine can access. Machines that are not connected to the network must be issued a fixed license (Method 1 above).

A floating license is particularly useful when the number of potential users exceeds the number of seats specified in your license terms.

UNIX/Linux

Supported Architectures
  • Alpha: DEC 3000 or AlphaServer running Tru64 UNIX 5.0 or higher
  • Linux/i386: i586 or higher processor; Linux 2.4 or higher kernel; glibc 2.3 or higher
  • Linux/AMD64: AMD64 or Intel EM64T processor; Linux 2.6 or higher kernel; glibc 2.3 or higher
  • Sun: UltraSPARC processor; Solaris 2.6 or higher
  • RS/6000: POWER or PowerPC processor; AIX 4.2 or higher
  • HP 9000: PA/RISC 1.1 or higher processor; HP/UX 11.x
  • SGI: MIPS 4 or higher processor; IRIX 6.5
Minimum System Requirements
  • Minimum RAM requirement for all non-GUI app's is 32 MB of random-access memory (RAM). This value depends on the "size"
    you have purchased (64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GIG).
  • Hard disk with 40 MB of free space for program files, data file access utility, and sample data files.
  • Additional hard disk space for scratch files (with the required space contingent on the size of the input data set).
Recommended System Requirements
  • Recommended random-access memory (RAM) is 1.5 times the licensed data limit (32 MB, 64 MB, etc), up to the maximum permitted by the target architecture. On UNIX systems, it is generally recommended that there be at least twice as much swap space as there is RAM.
  • Hard disk with 40 MB of free space for program files, data file access utility, and sample data files.
  • Additional hard disk space for scratch files (with the required space contingent on the size of the input data set).
All Salford apps are very CPU intensive, so more memory and a faster CPU are always helpful.
