In addition, we would like to tell you about a very nice article
evaluating MineSet 2.0 that appeared in Data Management Strategies.

An electronic copy is available off:
http://mineset.sgi.com/DMStrategies/

Some excerpts from the article:

I examined MineSet about a year ago and was impressed with its
capabilities. MineSet 2.0 includes some important new additions that
make this very capable data mining tool even more impressive.

MineSet has exceptional data visualization capabilities. But more
important for data analysts, MineSet's data mining and data
visualization capabilities are tightly integrated with each other...

...MineSet's three-dimensional landscape format, which uses a
"fly-through" navigational format, presents uncovered patterns and
trends to the user in a manner that is intuitive yet avoids
cluttering and overwhelming the analyst.

MineSet's capabilities will appeal to a variety of analysts, ranging
from database marketing and brand managers to retail buyers and
stockbrokers on Wall Street. In addition, scientists and engineers
will love its data modeling, visualization, and animation facilities.

MineSet is part of SGI's varsity program, which makes it available for
Universities under a varsity agreement. See

MLC++, which is the algorithmic basis for MineSet, is free
