New Poulin Hugin upgrade - version 1.4
June 1, 2006 (BOSTON/AALBORG)
Poulin-Hugin would like to announce our newest upgrade, Patterns and Predictions version 1.4. We feel that this upgrade represents the beginning of a new more 'user friendly' era for us.

New features in PH 1.4:

A cross platform GUI (PHJ) has been added to simplify the initial user experience. Basic features are included in the GUI, with the addition of advanced features planned. Includes a sample walkthrough of how to build a model to predict the price of Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ) given a sample of weather patterns in Florida.

To simplify the use of PH Patterns and Predictions on multiple input files, a response file option has been added to the following commands: csv2dat, ustruct2dat, ustruct2hcs

A new command 'count', for creating Hugin case and data files with Object frequencies from files has been added to the suite of tools.

The implementation of predictive ranges has been revised to extend existing intervals to include infinity, as opposed to adding new intervals.

Poulin-Hugin Trial v1.4 will continue to be a full featured free research tool for individual non-commercial use. Available at http://www.poulinhugin.com/trial/

Meanwhile, our Poulin-Hugin Research Professional distribution (available at http://www.poulinhugin.com/orderinfo/pro.htm) includes:

Support
Hierarchy modeling
Accuracy functions
Non-Windows platform builds (such as UNIX)
