Salford Predictive Modeler® 8
Minitab’s Integrated Suite of Machine Learning Software

CART®
SPM’s CART® modeling engine is the ultimate classification tree that has revolutionized the field of advanced analytics, and inaugurated the current era of data science.

Random Forests®
Random Forests® is a modeling engine that leverages the power of multiple alternative analyses, randomization strategies, and ensemble learning.

MARS®
The MARS® modeling engine is ideal for users who prefer results in a form similar to traditional regression while capturing essential nonlinearities and interactions.

TreeNet®
TreeNet® Gradient Boosting is SPM’s most flexible and powerful data mining tool, capable of consistently generating extremely accurate models.

Pricing
