Rattle provides a Gnome (RGtk2) based interface to R functionality for data mining. The aim is to provide a simple and intuitive interface that allows a user to quickly load data from a CSV file (or via ODBC), transform and explore the data, and build and evaluate models, knowing little about R. All R commands are logged and available for the user, as a tool to then begin interacting directly with R itself, if so desired. Rattle also exports a number of utility functions and the graphical user interface does not need to be run to deploy these.
Rattle is in daily use in a number of real world data mining projects, including many at the Australian Taxation Office. Since the previous release of Rattle 2.1.8 on CRAN (Rattle is also available from rattle.togaware.com): * Extensive rework of the graphics/plotting component, including addition of missing value correlation plots. * Evaluation plots have been enhanced for easier comparison of models. * Data exploration enhanced through use of rggobi Some features of Rattle: * Support for a number of popular data mining approaches: decision trees (rpart), randomForest, SVM (kernlab), and boosting (gbm). * Model evaluation using ROCR and specially devised Risk Charts. * The project is hosted at code.google.com/p/rattle/ * Rattle runs on GNU/Linux, Mac/OSX, and MS/Windows.
