About WizWhy
WizWhy determines how the values of one field in the data are affected by the values of other fields. The system performs its analysis based on one field selected by the user as the dependent variable, while the other fields are the independent variables (or conditions). The dependent variable can be analyzed as either Boolean or continuous.
The user can fine-tune the analysis by defining parameters such as the minimum probability of the rules, the minimum number of cases in each rule and the cost of a miss vs. the cost of false alarm.
WizWhy reveals and lists the rules that relate between the dependent variable and other fields (conditions). The rules are formulated as if-then and if-and-only-if statements. On the basis of the discovered rules WizWhy points out the main patterns, the unexpected rules (interesting phenomena) and the unexpected cases in the data.
WizWhy can issue predictions for new cases on the basis of the discovered rules.
