New features coming soon: Revolution Analytics has new features in the works and we're looking for beta testers! In an upcoming release, Revolution R Enterprise will support distributed computing for Linux (RHEL) using Platform Computing’s LSF. We're also rolling out support for “big data” generalized linear models (GLM). If you're an LSF shop, or if you're interested in estimating GLM models such as Poisson, Gamma, or Tweedie on large data sets — or even better, if you'd like to estimate them on an LSF cluster—please contact us now! The beta is planned for February. Email [email protected] if you'd like to participate.
