IBM SPSS Modeler Interface at a Glance

At each point in the data mining process, the easy-to-use IBM® SPSS® Modeler interface invites your specific business expertise. Modeling algorithms, such as prediction, classification, segmentation, and association detection, ensure powerful and accurate models. Model results can easily be deployed and read into databases, IBM SPSS Statistics, and a wide variety of other applications.

Working with IBM SPSS Modeler is a three-step process of working with data.

• First, you read data into IBM SPSS Modeler.
• Next, you run the data through a series of manipulations.
• Finally, you send the data to a destination.

This sequence of operations is known as a data stream because the data flows record by record from the source through each manipulation and, finally, to the destination--either a model or type of data output.
