The Evolving Tree is a self-organizing neural network. It is suitable for all kinds of data analysis tasks, but is especially suitable for huge data bases where traditional methods are too slow. The algorithm and structure of the system were invented by Jussi Pakkanen during his graduate studies at The Laboratory of Computer and Information Science, Helsinki University of Technology.
This documentation describes how you can use the Evolving Tree to analyze your own data. The documentation devides roughly to two different parts. The first kind describe how to use the included programs to analyze your data. The rest describe in detail how the programs really work. The latter documents are especially thorough: every single file, function and class is very exhaustively documented. Due to this transparency, those wanting to modify or re-implement the code should find it quite straightforward.
