Getting started with SPSS Modeler
With SPSS Modeler, you can quickly develop predictive models and deploy them into business operations to improve decision making. SPSS Modeler offers modeling methods that are taken from machine learning, artificial intelligence, and statistics.

You can model outcomes and understand the factors that influence them to develop predictive models, which can enable you to take advantage of business opportunities and mitigate risks.
