Genna Key Features
Attribute Weights: User or (Semi) Automatic Generation
GENNA provides the user with three options for optimising the similarity metric used in comparable retrieval. In the first instance the user of the algorithm can provide a weighting for each of the dependent variables in the input data. Secondly, the user can provide a ranking of the attributes based on domain knowledge resident in the user.

This ranking is taken into account by the optimisation carried out by the Genetic Algorithm within GENNA. Finally, the user can suggest that the Genetic Algorithm generate the weights autonomously. After the generation of the weights the user can tune the weights and generate new models to obtain insights into the sensitivity of the model to changes in the individual attribute weights.

Flexibility
GENNA provides the user with greater flexibility with regards to affecting the type of model that is generated through the setting of parameters of the algorithm that affect the nature of the distance metric employed, the prediction method employed and the number of comparables used within the prediction phase of the model. The user can also influence the type of error distribution generated by the application of the model through the setting of a parameter that affects the trade-off used by the algorithm between accuracy and variability of the model. The algorithm uses well-established statistical metrics to generate a measure the estimated accuracy and variability of the model.

In addition to the above mentioned features GENNA also provides the following unique features:

Ability to use Censored Observations
Ability to use Categorical and Numeric Attributes through the use of innovative distance metrics
Using Categorical and Numeric Attributes
Automatic Indexing of data for Scalability and Speed
Incremental Learning and Introspection.
