DM: Reviewing CARTŪ (tm), SPSS AnswerTree, and See5

[Tjen-Sien Lim]

Dear Netters:

I'm in the process of writing a review of commercial Windows
classification trees software packages CARTŪ (tm) Ver. 3.5, SPSS
AnswerTree Ver. 2.0, and See5 Ver. 1.09. To minimize my own personal
bias and ignorance in the review, I'd like to invite you to share your
own experiences with those packages (if any). Specifically, I'm
looking for your personal opinions on:

1. Pros and cons of each package
2. Design of GUI
3. Ease of use
4. Speed
5. Algorithms

The final review will be based mostly on my own evaluation and I'll
take a full responsibility for any inaccuracy. Please email your
comments to me directly or post them to the message board at

   http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~limt/treeprogs.html

Thank you for your attention.
