Inducer: a public domain workbench for data mining

This paper describes the facilities available in Inducer, a public domain classification workbench aimed at users who wish to analyse their own datasets using a range of data mining strategies or to conduct experiments with a given technique or combination of techniques across a range of datasets. Inducer has a graphical user interface which is designed to be easy-to-use by beginners, but also includes a range of advanced features for experienced users, including facilities to export the information generated in a form suitable for further processing by other packages.
