I'm working with datasets in the range of 1000 entries. For this, Maltab is usually alright. When it takes too long with Matlab, I write functions in C (and use the interface with Matlab). Now if you work with huge databases, an alternative to Matlab should perhaps be used.Sandro Saittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682082649770875583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29117034.post-17472728122407319512006-11-06T08:41:00.000+01:002006-11-06T08:41:00.000+01:00I'm a big supporter of OpenSource software and so...I'm a big supporter of OpenSource software and so I'm personally anti Matlab. <br /><br />I prefer to roll my own in C and C++. <br /><br />Datamining on large db is runtime intensive and personally can't tolerate anything slower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29117034.post-42612122635879954322006-11-05T17:59:00.000+01:002006-11-05T17:59:00.000+01:00The post about Java data mining has some comments ...The post about <a href="http://dataminingresearch.blogspot.com/2006/10/java-data-mining.html">Java data mining</a> has some comments about the R language if needed.Sandro Saittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682082649770875583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29117034.post-79371744640866591562006-11-02T22:04:00.000+01:002006-11-02T22:04:00.000+01:00I am a scientific researcher in data mining (at a ...I am a scientific researcher in data mining (at a university) and a practitioner applying data mining as consultant and software developer (as freelancer). In both roles, I use YALE, WEKA, and Java to implement my solutions and new methods. YALE is easily extendable. You can write your own operators or plugins in Java. The YALE tutorial, which is available online, describes how to do this.<br />Reusability of existing methods, ease of combining existing and new methods, and rapid prototyping are really strong reasons for using YALE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29117034.post-68284370213128313882006-11-02T21:47:00.000+01:002006-11-02T21:47:00.000+01:00I am not using R myself but I am surprised that it...I am not using R myself but I am surprised that it hasn't been mentioned.<br />http://www.r-project.org/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29117034.post-19617986164878151882006-11-01T18:20:00.000+01:002006-11-01T18:20:00.000+01:00I'm happy to see I'm not the only Matlab fan :-)
...I'm happy to see I'm not the only Matlab fan :-)<br /><br />By the way, when I write that Matlab is more research oriented I mean that people doing research <b>in</b> data mining will perhaps prefer Matlab. However, all the people doing research <b>with</b> or using data mining will certainly chose WEKA or YALE.Sandro Saittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682082649770875583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29117034.post-18711952174549028122006-11-01T08:04:00.000+01:002006-11-01T08:04:00.000+01:00I'm in general a MatLab fan, but I think Weka is h...I'm in general a MatLab fan, but I think Weka is highly appropriate for data mining tasks and i use it without second thought on all my relevant projects (I'm not yet familiar enough with Yale)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
