Analysis and Prediction With Discover*e and Takara
The true value of continuous process data is determined by how effectively and accurately it can be used to support and enhance actionable plant floor and enterprise decision making. Pattern Discovery Technologies (PDT) has developed analytical tools and programming libraries that reveal hidden patterns in data. Essentially, we unearth the 'patterns that matter' which empower you to make actionable decisions with clarity and confidence. Discover*e tools and libraries are based on patented technology and our expertise in advanced data analysis. PDT's offerings include; Discover*e, a data analysis toolkit and Takara, a developers library.
Discover*e
Based on technology developed at PDT and the PAMI lab at the University of Waterloo, Discover*e is a collection of tools that supports exploratory data mining activity. Discover*e's ability to uncover high order statistical patterns in a fully transparent manner differentiates it from other generic data mining tools. The Discover*e toolkit also incorporates well known data analysis algorithms, visual data analysis methods and data interface utilities.
The Discover*e toolkit includes:
• Data connection and data preprocessing tools
• Exploratory data analysis engines
• Reporting and other supporting modules
• Visualization

Takara
Takara is a library as well as a framework to build customized applications for data analysis, modeling and prediction. At a higher level, it contains the following components:
• Data connection and ETL layer
• Takara analytical library
• Developing framework
The analytical library gives application developers easy access to a comprehensive set of algorithms and methods for data transformation, analysis, modeling, and prediction. While functionality is being continuously enhanced, some examples of the analytical algorithms it provides are:
• High order associative pattern discovery
• Decision trees
• Neural networks
• Regression analysis
• Rule induction and rule based reasoning
• Time series analysis
