Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines
High-Quality Regression and Classification
The MARS® Model is designed to predict numeric outcomes such as the average monthly bill of a mobile phone customer or the amount that a shopper is expected to spend in a web site visit. The MARS® engine is also capable of producing high quality classification models for a yes/no outcome. The MARS® engine performs variable selection, variable transformation, interaction detection, and self-testing, all automatically and at high speed.
High-Performance Results
Areas where the MARS® engine has exhibited very high-performance results include forecasting electricity demand for power generating companies, relating customer satisfaction scores to the engineering specifications of products, and presence/absence modeling in geographical information systems (GIS).
