MiningSolve™: The Core Decision Support Tool that Undergirds Our Strategic Approach to Data Mining Automation.
The Traditional Approach to Data Mining
 

In the traditional approach to data mining, data modelers manually build models one at a time. Conventionally, two types of software are used:"toolbox" and "toolbench" software. Toolbox software are applications that include many stand-alone "tools" such as those found in advanced statistical packages. The modeler uses this type of software like a jet engine mechanic uses the tools in his or her toolbox. Correspondingly, toolbox software requires a substantial amount of knowledge on the part of the modeler. Toolbench software, on the other hand, is designed specifically for data mining. It is usually iconically-driven and integrates together many of the discrete steps typically used in data mining.
