What is it all about ?

The PNC2 Rule Induction System is a free machine learning software tool, that automatically induces rules from your data using the newly invented PNC2 Cluster Algorithm. An integrated parameter tuning component allows an easy adjustment of the algorithm's behaviour to your particular data without any further knowledge.

The PNC2 Rule Induction System ...

... has a clean and useful user interface
... projects are set up within a few minutes
... provides a comprehensive Context-Sensitive Online Help including an introductory One Page Tutorial
... is free under the terms of the GNU General Public License

Additionally a DOS command-line version will be available soon. To be more precise: It's already included in the source code but, however, it's not documented yet.

If you are not familar with the topic of data-based modelling take a look here.

Acknowledgement

The PNC2 cluster algorithm was developed while I was a scholarship holder in the post graduate research program Modelling and Model-Based Design of Complex Technological Systems at the Chair of Electrical Control Engineering at the University of Dortmund, Germany. My research project was initiated by Prof. Dr. rer. nat. H. Kiendl. The post graduate research program was founded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
