The R statistics package (http://www.r-project.org/) has a package
called RPart (recursive portioning) that builds classification trees
(similar to the classification trees in Enterprise Miner).  Not
surprisingly, the interface is not as slick as Enterprise Miner's
graphical workflow approach and the learning curve is steeper.  But all
the critical pieces seem to be there.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [F/OSS-Community] Open Source alternatives to SAS Enterprise
Miner?

=20

Hello,

Can anyone give me any leads on an alternative to Enterprise Miner? I'm
trying to do some not-for-profit work but I have some data that's caught
up in Enterprise Miner, and there is no way I can afford that software.=20

Thanks,

Liz
