Pecan is an automated AI-based predictive analytics platform that simplifies and speeds the process of building and deploying predictive models in various customer-related and operational use-cases, such as LTV, churn, NBO, risk, and segmentation. Pecan does not require any data preparation, engineering, or prepossessing - it connects directly toraw data, and uses neural networks to automate the entire predictive process. With Pecan, organizations can obtain and deploy AI models in days, without…
Engineering, mathematical modeling, and machine learning are all fields where MATLAB will shine. It's fast, reliable, and relatively easy to use. MATLAB is the de facto standard when it comes to producing high-quality plots. If you need to deal with large data sets, and not take forever processing them, MATLAB may very well be the tool for you!
Pecan is something that few know and that I feel can represent a great utility for an entire company, to focus and prioritize all its products and services in favor of the right path, avoiding making mistakes and jumping directly to the solution of future problems before they happen. Pecan will allow you to always be one step ahead and improve your trading system quickly.
Has robust and easy-to-use debugging tools that can help one identify problems in one's codes.
Rich, well-developed and efficient library of mathematical and statistical functions that one might need to develop models or perform statistical analysis.
A very active online user community that is a great resource in terms of seeking help when you hit a snag.
Great help literature (and sometimes videos too) on all tools making it possible for all to train themselves.
One of the main important characteristics is its ease of use and the intuitive nature of the platform. It is possible to carry out analyzes quickly and efficiently without requiring user experience. This positive point really gives us what we need for our work: optimization and automation.
The creation of reports and statistics allows us to fully visualize the analysis carried out, in order to develop our work and carry out the pertinent actions.
Segmentation allows us to prioritize potential customers, more focused marketing campaigns, highlight our services with what our public is really interested in.
MATLAB should have a full free version (without time limit) in order to be more accessible and thus have a greater user community.
The idea of having toolboxes to work directly with hardware (microcontrollers, single-board computers) is great, but one can tell it isn't updated very frequently and there isn't as much documentation available as with more common resources.
Our organization had a lot of trouble getting our network licenses to work properly and there wasn't any local service provider that could help us get it to work faster.
The best thing about MATLAB is the variety of research and development fields it supports. The reason for this rating is that it is best used for medical images enhancement and signal processing, it is also used for speech to text conversion. This tool server is best when the demand is for machine learning.
The built-in search engine is not as performing as I wish it would be. However, the YouTube channel has a vast library of informative video that can help understanding the software. Also, many other software have a nice bridge into MATLAB, which makes it very versatile. Overall, the support for MATLAB is good.
The commands and coding language of MATLAB reads a lot more in plain English as opposed to all the periods and other special characters that are needed when typing in Python or Java. Additionally MATLAB has several different function packages that can solve all different categories of problems so you don't have to make a bunch of different code scrips from scratch.
I particularly believe that CrossEngage has some features that Pecan does not offer, such as A/B Testing, however, we were looking for a good predictor and analyst and the truth is that Pecan does its job very well.
