Parabon Crush is a statistical data mining application that uses the power of the Frontier Grid Platform to identify optimal explanatory regression models among the potentially vast set of all possible models. It can be used for deep correlation analysis, prediction and explanatory modeling.
Crush Technical Features:
- Crush supports linear, logit and ordered regression analysis, and its pluggable architecture makes it easy to add others.
- Crush identifies optimal models according to any of a variety of fitness measures, including adjusted R2, log likelihood, and root mean squared prediction error (RMSPE) via k-fold cross validation.
- Crush searches model spaces exhaustively, combinatorially, or using opportunistic evolutionary search.
- Crush supports programmatic execution and XML specification for easy integration into existing workflows.
