Work more productively

Set-up wizard
Specify your complete model more easily. The set-up wizard walks you through specifying your model in three easy steps. And, now you can specify all of the growing criteria -- including validation method, priors, costs and more -- before building the tree. Advanced users in particular will find this feature very helpful and a big time-saver.

Select nodes by criteria
Easily select the nodes you need. Choose from several criteria to automatically select the nodes you desire, such as the top n nodes, all nodes that meet or exceed a statistical threshold, etc. For example, select only the nodes with 80% response or higher, then easily export the decision rules for just those nodes. Select names from a prospect or mailing list to maximize your profitability. Also, use [shift-click] or [ctrl-click] to select multiple nodes manually from the Gains chart. When you switch to the rules or tree tab, information for the selected nodes will be displayed.

Export tree as Meta file
Share your trees easier. Export your tree models as metafiles to insert into SmartViewer to send the results electronically. Or, insert the tree into word processing or presentation software.

Recreate your tree in a snap
Build a new tree that uses the same variables, growing criteria and model specifications as your current tree. Simply select new tree in the tree window, instead of the project window. Print and view your tree more efficiently, with improvements to scrolling and sizing of the tree.
