### About Weka

Weka is an open-source machine learning algorithm for data mining tasks that can either be applied directly to a dataset or called from existing Java code. The system contains tools for data pre-processing, regression, classification, clustering, visualization and association rules. It is well-suited for developing new machine learning schemes.

Weka allows users to perform attribute selection using meta-classifiers, filters and attribute selection classes. The application enables individuals to use transactional data stored in databases by utilizing transaction ID as the primary key. It also lets teams customize the background color of the plots by defining and setting the colors in the interface.

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

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.

- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

I could learn the basics of Data Mining and Data Warehousing with this software. It helped build the basics. I could explore a lot of things in the application very easily because of the ease of its usage. It should be a definite stepping stone for each and every student who is new to the world of data science.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Weka was the first tool I had used for Data Mining. It's a good tool with all the bare minimum functionalities for any student. It provides as a great source of learning and exploration. As a student, I loved working with this software and writing reports of my findings. The machine learning algorithms that can be implemented with this software are also very easy to understand. Modifications and tweeking of the data and playing around with the input and being able to visualize it is a bonus.

#### Cons

This software has very less documentation and support available online. Not many people have been using it. It needs more acceptance in the Data Mining industry, especially for introducing these tools to the students. It proves to be a very good resource and learning experience as seen in my case as well as my classmates.

Perfect learning tool for teaching students!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Weka is a program developed by academic and is free to use, which is great because I use it to teach the basics of machine learning to my computational social science students. Its simple interface is easy for them to use, and the different types of analyses to choose from, like decision trees, are great for them to learn from.

#### Cons

I wish the regression analysis would give p values. But then again, if I am going to do regression then I will use Stata. That is not the focus of this software, so it's not a big deal.
