SAS Boosts Predictive Analytics Functionality
SAS announces enhancements to its SAS Enterprise Miner, SAS Text Miner and SAS Forecast Server software. The newest release of SAS Enterprise Miner aims to improve productivity through added interactive advanced visualization and 15 new analytical tools. Unstructured data from customer feedback forms, blogs, call centers and other sources is now incorporated even more easily in SAS Text Miner. Combining that with SAS Enterprise Miner's improved ability to visualize analytical results, SAS Text Miner can discover and exploit patterns that would otherwise remain hidden in stored business documents. SAS Forecast Server's new release includes user interface enhancements that provide greater control. There are now more outlier detection options, more complex filtering capability, and six new statistics of fit. Over a dozen new project management macros help handle routine project management tasks more effectively in batch mode. And performance and scalability improvements allow SAS Forecast Server to work even more efficiently with very large data sets
