NeuralTools
Make Intelligent Predictions from Incomplete Data


Utilize Data to Create Predictive Neural Networks
NeuralTools is a sophisticated data mining application that uses neural networks in Microsoft Excel, making accurate new predictions based on the patterns in your known data. NeuralTools imitates brain functions in order to “learn” the structure of your data, taking new inputs and making intelligent predictions. With NeuralTools, your spreadsheet can “think” for you like never before.
Overview
There are three basic steps in a Neural Networks analysis: training the network on your data, testing the network for accuracy, and making predictions from new data. NeuralTools accomplishes all this automatically in one simple step. NeuralTools automatically updates predictions when input data changes, so you don’t have to manually re-run predictions when you get new data. Combine with Palisade’s Evolver or Excel’s Solver to optimize tough decisions and achieve your goals like no other Neural Networks package can.

How NeuralTools Is Used
NeuralTools has a multitude of applications, including:
- Credit & Fraud Risk
- Investment Planning & Portfolio Optimization
- Engineering Reliability
- Capital Reserves
- Oil, Gas, & Mineral Reserves
Credit & Fraud Risk
Leverage known data on previous loans and transactions to predict future outcomes with new credit applicants or new, real-time transactions.
Investment Planning & Portfolio Optimization
Predict performance of portfolio assets (such as stocks, bonds, real estate, or projects) based on historical data sets and new, incomplete information.
Engineering Reliability
Predict the risk of equipment failure or safety violations using past data. Identify areas of weakness to ensure quality results and prevent failures.
Capital Reserves
Intelligently predict future reserves needs based on experiential and industry data sets paired with current, incomplete data.
Oil, Gas, & Mineral Reserves
Using known geological and mineral reserves data, predict the likelihood of success given new, incomplete survey and testing information.

Key Features
Train, Test, and Predict in One Step
NeuralTools performs all three basic steps of a Neural Networks analysis in one simple step. Save time and hassle in setting up your analyses.


Live Prediction
NeuralTools automatically updates predictions when input data changes, allowing for real-time optimization of input variables. (Industrial edition only).
Variable Impact Analysis
NeuralTools ranks the effect of input variables on predictions, and new input variables can be selected or emphasized for more accurate predictions.


Training Sensitivity Analysis
This feature shows users the reliability of test results based on the size of the testing data set.
Variable Matching
With NeuralTools, variables in the different datasets (training, testing, and prediction) do not need to be in the same order or even have the same names.


Neural Networks Manager
NeuralTools helps you keep your Neural Networks organized for quick retrieval, enabling easy management of many trained Neural Networks.
