  • Reviews the pros and cons of open source and commercial software packages, and their proper applications in specific situations.

  • Explores data using dynamic methods rather than counting on dichotomous thinking.

  • Considers alternate models using ensemble models and model comparison rather than fixing a preconceived hypothesis/model on a single method.

  • Shows how to find the hidden pattern in the data by dynamic visualization rather than over-relying on numeric results.
