The Inducer rule induction workbench

This paper describes the facilities available in Inducer, a public domain rule induction workbench aimed at users who may not be computer scientists, who wish to analyze 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 rules generated in several formats and other information in a form suitable for further processing by other packages. An experiment using the workbench is described.
