SPSS Modeler

IBM SPSS Modeler is a data mining and text analytics software

application from IBM. It is used to build predictive models and
IBM SPSS Modeler
conduct other analytic tasks. It has a visual interface which
allows users to leverage statistical and data mining algorithms
without programming.

One of its main aims from the outset was to get rid of
unnecessary complexity in data transformations, and to make
complex predictive models very easy to use.

The first version incorporated decision trees (ID3), and neural

networks (backprop), which could both be trained without
underlying knowledge of how those techniques worked.

IBM SPSS Modeler was originally named Clementine by its

creators, Integral Solutions Limited. This name continued for a
while after SPSS's acquisition of the product. SPSS later changed
the name to SPSS Clementine, and then later to PASW
Modeler.[1] Following IBM's 2009 acquisition of SPSS, the
product was renamed IBM SPSS Modeler, its current name.

Editions
IBM sells the current version of SPSS Modeler (version 18.2.1) in two separate bundles of features. These
two bundles are called "editions" by IBM:
 SPSS Modeler Professional: used for structured data, such as databases, mainframe data
systems, flat files or BI systems
SPSS Modeler Premium: Includes all the features of Modeler Professional, with the
addition of:

– Text analytics

Both editions are available in desktop and server configurations.

In addition to the traditional IBM SPSS Modeler desktop installations, IBM now offers the SPSS Modeler
interface as an option in the Watson Studio product line which includes Watson Studio (cloud), Watson
Studio Local, and Watson Studio Desktop.

Product history
Early versions of the software were called Clementine and were Unix-based. The first version was released
on Jun 9th 1994, after Beta testing at 6 customer sites. Clementine was originally developed by a UK
company named Integral Solutions Limited (ISL),[10] in Collaboration with Artificial Intelligence
researchers at Sussex University. The original Clementine was implemented in Poplog, which ISL
marketed for Sussex University.

Clementine mainly used the Poplog languages, Pop11, with some parts written in C for speed (such as the
neural network engine), along with additional tools provided as part of Solaris, VMS and various versions
of Unix. The tool quickly garnered the attention of the data mining community (at that time in its infancy).

In order to reach a larger market, ISL then Ported Poplog to Microsoft Windows using the NutCracker
package, later named MKS Toolkit to provide the Unix graphical facilities. Original in many respects,
Clementine was the first data mining tool to use an icon based Graphical user interface rather than requiring
users to write in a Programming language, though that option remained available for expert users.
In 1998 ISL was acquired by SPSS Inc., who saw the potential for extended development as a commercial
data mining tool. In early 2000 the software was developed into a client / server architecture, and shortly
afterward the client front-end interface component was completely re-written and replaced with a new Java
front-end, which allowed deeper integration with the other tools provided by SPSS.

SPSS Clementine version 7.0: The client front-end runs under Windows. The server back-end Unix
variants (Sun, HP-UX, AIX), Linux, and Windows. The graphical user interface is written in Java.

IBM SPSS Modeler 14.0 was the first release of Modeler by IBM.

IBM SPSS Modeler 15, released in June 2012, introduced significant new functionality for Social Network
Analysis and Entity Analytics.
