BigML - Create a Model then Generate a Prediction

BigML - Create a Model then Generate a Prediction | Digital Delights for Learners | Scoop.it
BigML's goal is to create a machine learning service extremely easy to use and seamless to integrate.
luiy's curator insight, April 13, 2013 11:11 AM

BigML's predictive models will show you the patterns that are hidden in your data. You can adjust the granularity of the model by using the "live pruning" slider to prune away branches with less data, allowing you to focus on the most common cases, or explore fine details. Click on a decision node and follow the path to increasingly more specific cases by following the "branches" downward. See which values create the split points at every node. At every node, the model shows what the most likely prediction is.

It's ok Karen! Digital tools are like fruit - some we like, some work well with one's thinking framework and others don't. Hence having a wide range of options is positive (at least in my view :-)
