Hi Jiri, Everyone,
I invite you to check out Jacket, the GPU Engine for MATLAB, which our company AccelerEyes has been building (http://www.accelereyes.com). The aim with Jacket is to make it easy to do GPU computing via the high-level M-language.…
I see, this is completely unknown area. But IT specialists are becomïng more and more interested in it. One of our BI customer (dealing with considerable large datasets) asked us: "are you going to implement GPU acceleration into STATISTICA 9.1 for…
It means "we have plenty". "p the wazoo" means we have so much of something it is coming out of our collective "wazoos". it's an indeliate reference.
I didn't read teh bok but have read so many they all seem the same. with all due respoect to the a…
Dear Timothy,
thank you very much for your response. I spent some time with dictionary, to learn new vocabulary :))).
I translated almost all but "wazoo". Sorry for my poor english, but what does it mean ?
There are many interesting and true ideas…
Data mining is a huge mystery to almost everyone who isn't a practitioner.
I definitely agree. Even practitioners are surprised from time to time by black-box-effects, which cannot be understand because e.g. the model does allow only restricted ins…
No. were this book to manage such a feat it would have to be addressed to a far broader, less-technical audience full of examples of what data mining is and can do for us. To date, there are hundreds of programmers, maybe even thousands, for every s…
Do you have any experience with a parallel hardware acceleration of computing? Is actual to think about graphical cards as a tool improving performance of statistical and DM tasks & software? What should one to have in mind, when considering to buy…
Hi Jiri,
It has been a great resource for learning/teaching add (Data Set, 90 Days Trial, Over view of available Data Miner Software). We validated & authenticated by few TOP B Schools & eminent academecian in India and received a good note . As a…
I started to read Handbook of Statistical Analysis & Data Mining - Applications by R. Nisbet, J. Elder, G. Miner and many guest authors just several days ago. Thus, this is not intended to be a review, this is my first impression and wish for your o…
Just couple of "performance numbers" from my testing for your comparison...
At begining, consider please, that my desktop is relatively ancient (INTEL two core @2.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD).
I generated (STATISTICA 9, 32 bit) spreadsheet 100 VAR…
Desite how much "academics" like anything in their "real life", the business world is less likely to need whatever it is that made those "academics" feel that way. Why? Because the business world, by merit of its economic focus, all too often needs…
See my reply to Jiri in the Czech Republic ...
But, here's a repeat, just in case:
The HANDBOOK OF STATISTICAL ANALYSIS & DATA MINING APPLICATIONS will not be in the UK Warehouse for European distribution until August. You can order now from eithe…
The HANDBOOK OF STATISTICAL ANALYSIS & DATA MINING APPLICATIONS will not be in the UK Warehouse for European distribution until August. You can order now from either the ELSEVIER-UK web site or the Amazon.com-UK web site, and then you will be the fi…
A fruitful discussion indeed!
As a former SAS user that now uses STATISTCA, I can say without a doubt that STATISTICA's graphs are second to none. Aside from that, it is very similar to SAS. (I have not used SPSS enough to comment) There was nothin…
Thank you very much for your remarks!
I am glad to see, fruitful discusion is emerging...
Let´s continue!I
I am also looking forward to read new book by R. Nisbet and coauthors. Do you know the simpliest way to obtain this book? I am writing from…
I totally agree with you Dr. Nisbet. As both a PhD candidate and a full time worker, I definitely notice the gap between business world and the academics.
As a Ph.D. candidate in the field of Operations Research, I find that people in academics tal…
Hi Jiri ... Just noted your updated Profile .... Interesting that you are from Czech Republic and are finishing a degree in Plant Physiology. In my book, to be released this Thursday, there is a TUTORIAL using plant data from the Czech Republic, analyzed by a Plant Physiologist at Washington State University and myself ............ see: http://www.elsevierdirect.com/product.jsp?isbn=9780123747655
