To all those who sent me mail requesting a summary of responses I received for my query on Commercial Expert Systems for Statistical Analysis, here is a summary of all the responses I have received so far: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: Todd.Kaufmann@NL.CS.CMU.EDU To: KDM2520@TAMSIGMA.BITNET Subject: re: Expert Systems for Statistical Analysis There is a program called REX, which is an expert system for regression analysis. See the books "Artificial Intelligence & Statistics", edited by Wm. A Gale, and also "Discovering Causal Structure: artificial intelligence, philosophy of science, and statistical modeling" by Clark Glymour, Peter Spirtes, Kevin Kelly, & ?. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: Dick (R.D.) Peacocke <RICHARD@BNR.CA> Subject: Expert Systems for Statistical Analysis Sender: Dick (R.D.) Peacocke <RICHARD@BNR.CA> A company called KnowledgeWorks has developed " an exploratory data analysis/knowledge acquisition package called TEASE -- jointly funded by the National Research Council (Canada). TEASE has been used to conduct a variety of data analysis tasks leading to rule induction" ...."the preliminary step in expert systems construction." The quotes are from their advertising blurb. We've started to use the system a liitle bit on some software quality and hardware manufacturing data. TEASE isn't really an expert system for statistical analysis, more the reverse, statistical analysis for an expert system, but I thought you might be interested anyway. For more details contact KnowledgeWorks Research Systems Ltd. 57 Stevenson Ave. Ottawa CANADA K1Z 6M9 phone (613) 725-0633 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: Dick (R.D.) Peacocke <RICHARD@BNR.CA> Subject: Another ES for Statistical Analysis Sender: Dick (R.D.) Peacocke <RICHARD@BNR.CA> At AAAI '88 a "software user consultant for statistics" was mentioned by Prof. Raj Reddy in his Presidential Address. He was listing some AI achievements, and included this system in the list. It's under development at AT&T apparently - you might like to contact them or Reddy to get more details. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Many of the other responses I received were information regarding William Gale's book. I thank all the readers who responded to my request and I will appreciate any additional information available on this. Thank you again.
