[...] RapidMiner If you are looking for a really good data mining software you should consider RapidMiner. RapidMiner is a leading open-source system for knowledge discovery and data mining with a graphical user interface. It supports a variety of data mining algorithms as descision trees, self-organization maps, clustering, classification to name only a few. Of course it can be downloaded for free on the RapidMiner website where you can also find free video tutorials on how to use the software. As it is a wide spread software you will be able to find many sources and discussion boards about RapidMiner. A blog with good content about RapidMiner (and more interessting topics) is Neural Market Trends. Check out the video tutorials here! [...]

Hi Tom,
A zillion thanks for introducing rapidminer. I would have never thought about using those I learned years ago for trading, even though I use weka at work.
My small question: Is it possible to draw chart within rapidminer?

Has anyone seen a case where the operator won’t slide into the process window? I’m trying to use the forecasting performance operator but it won’t drag or insert by right clicking. An error stating “operator can not be constructed ….. set horizon(I)V” Any ideas?
