Datawatch Angoss market-leading decision tree interface can now be used by data scientists and business analysts, without having to move data out of Spark.

Data preparation and profiling allow for easy data extraction and manipulation, and data can easily be transformed for modeling.



“Angoss KnowledgeSTUDIO for Apache Spark allows business users to create predictive models at scale, from a variety of datasets regardless of their size,” continued Chahine.  “This more efficient use of compute resources, especially in cloud environments, shortens processing cycles and can reduce costs.”
