What People are Saying About MARS

"MARS is an essential tool for any data miner. It finds significant effects in complex data structures where other methods simply fail. I use it as both a stand alone solution and as a transformation tool for simpler modeling techniques."

Thomas Brauch, Marketing Manager, Data Driven Marketing Department, Fireman's Fund Insurance


"The MARS interface is smooth, intuitive and worked well. I think you have hit another home run with this data mining and modeling tool. I look forward to using it in a number of medical research projects. Also, I very much appreciate the outstanding customer support I have received."

Wayne Danter, University of Western Ontario


"MARS brings a new generation of statistical modeling technology to industrial statistics. MARS models are much more flexible than conventional response surface methods. The output is much more visual and has proven the source of insights in presentations to engineers. Finally, the windows- type GUI opens the door to training engineers to use the analysis software effectively."

Bill Heavlin, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.


"For years, I have been predicting that MARS would be one of the hottest algorithms and it will be. MARS addresses some shortcomings of decision trees, and it does so in a fairly elegant fashion."

Herb Edelstein, President, Two Crows Data Mining Consultancy


"MARS is in many cases both more accurate and much faster than neural nets."

Richard DeVeaux, Williams College
