Le librerie di Weka sono utilizzate per sviluppare modelli di machine learning in grado di aiutare nello studio del rapporto causa effetto dell’interazioni di diversi fattori chimici.

Pros

Weka contiene un avanzata e fornita collezione di algoritmi di machine learning e tecniche di processo di dati. Il software è disegnato al fine di permettere il test di diversi modelli di machine learning su database molto grandi, con rapidità è flessibilità. Weka offre soluzioni a 360 gradi per lo sviluppo, supportando l’analista nella valutazione degli schemi di apprendimento, nella preparazione dei dati e nella visualizzazione dell’output.

Cons

Il software, girando su JVM presenta per una limitata serie di modelli di machine learning alcune limitazioni, che non sarebbero presenti se si utilizzasse un app nativa.

Switched from

[IBM SPSS Statistics](https://www.capterra.com/p/250819/IBM-SPSS-Statistics/)

Il cambio ha permesso un risparmio sulla licenza e la possibilità di sviluppare modelli di machine learning in modo molto più rapido

Como estudiante de Computación es una herramienta que consta con todas las funcionalidades necesarias para realizar el preprocesamiento de datos en los dataset, con esta herramienta podemos tener los datos listos y limpios para hacer un correcto análisis de datos.

Pros

La facilidad de uso que se tiene al momento de realizar preprocesamiento de datos con dataset brindados por la Universidad es uno de los puntos más fuertes de este software.

Cons

Puede resultar un poco tedioso aprender cada una de las variables que conforman ciertos algoritmos, a pesar de que exista una descripción pequeña de cada funcionalidad, tendría que ser probada en varios entornos para determinar cuál es el funcionamiento correcto.

I am learning about Weka software to use it for clustering my data , in my research. So far, it a easy to use software.

Pros

Weka is widely used for machine learning and data mining. Clustering can be done easily. It is open-source software. Easy to download and use. It generates good quality plots.

Cons

The feature I am unhappy about this software is limited analysis options are available. I am still learning to use this software.

I first used Weka during my machine learning class and then I used it again every time I wanted to do data analysis without writing code from scratch.

Pros

It is a free software for data analysis and machine learning. It is a must for students and researchers who want to learn. Very rich documentation (both written and video).

Cons

I had a very hard time integrating Weka with python, although it is possible to do so. Once done it works fine though. Maybe not the most suitable solution for enterprise use. It is written in Java.

Overall experience with weka is good. first I worked with weka for my university assignments. At that time I am not familiar with that. but in very small time period I was able to work with this environment because it is easy for handle. It gives very clear graphical details and those graphical details are very attractive. weka is the best software to do data mining.

Pros

We can use this as very easily for designe data mining algorithms. This software gives very clearly graphical out puts. Very easy to work with software because there is no anything have to do very hard. it is user friendly also. It helps to user solve their problems and get quality predictions. no any breaking points. as well as there a re no any kind of mistakes. This software is very helpfull to me for do my datamining tasks. as a student and a employee.

Cons

This software is mainly use for data mining using algorithms. So at that time if we can create this much more user friendly that is the best this ever do. But now also there is no big issue with that.

Weka is one of the main tools used for data mining .Weka provides large number of data mining algorithms for the users which helps the users to try any type of data mining technique through one software product. Also it provides data preprocessing facility which helps to format the data set.

Pros

Weka Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis is a data mining tool which helps the users to analyze the data sets and identify patterns and make decision based on them. Weka provides data visualization and large number of algorithms which helps to analyze the data sets. Users are given the facility to import data sets through different data types.csv (Comma separated Values) files, data base files Weka is a freely available software tool which can be downloaded through internet with out making any specific payment. Weka provides functions for data preprocessing. Using Weka users can mange null values ,deal with different data types and format data ranges easily .Preprocessing of large data sets can be easily done in Weka when considering the other data mining tools. Weka is not for a particular data mining process. Using Weka users can try data mining techniques like clustering ,classification ,regression. All these techniques are provided in this one tool

Cons

Weka is implemented in java. In order to use Weka users need to have a certain knowledge about it. Once a user is given proper guidance or proper guidelines user may carry out the process with out any issue. But there must be a guidance with out proper instructions it is difficult to work on Weka. It is not easy to connect Weka with a separately developed user interface .It does not support all the IDEs .Weka supports only few java based IDEs like eclipse. Yet still it takes lengthy and complex coding to connect Weka with a user interface developed by any other IDE when comparing to the other tools.

Pros

Major benefits from this software was the ease to analyse clusters and classify data. Understanding the uses of various data sets and the ease of excel sheets i.e. .arff files. Loved it...

Cons

Can be much more user friendly in terms of the way it operates. Many a times many functions are deactivated as bugs...
