Data mining software

Q-YIELD is a data mining software tool that can search through massive data bases and uncover relationships that explain the causes of production problems. Large data sets and complex relationships limit the usefulness of the data collected in the fab; Q-YIELD helps engineers to overcome these obstacles by providing an automated data analysis solution that uses their data resources to the full. Using intelligent search algorithms, it can sift through data sets of any size and extract relationships that were previously undetectable. The result of the analysis is a simple report that lists the critical parameters limiting yields. Q-YIELD analyzes 200 variables and 10,000 records in 15 minutes on a PC; provides nonparametric analysis; works with all types of data (numeric, non-numeric, and date variables); and works with noisy, non-normal data, even if it has missing values and outliers.
