Charles River Analytics Announces Model Analyst’s Toolkit to Analyze and Validate Social Science

July 27, 2011 - PRLog -- CAMBRIDGE, MA - Charles River Analytics, a developer of cutting-edge technologies for intelligent systems, announces its Model Analyst’s Toolkit (MAT). MAT is a software application to analyze and validate social science theories and models. Analysts can use MAT to develop and refine theoretical social science models of socio-political behavior using real-world data.

Mr. John Chamberlain, Senior Software Engineer at Charles River, explained, “With MAT, you can more thoroughly understand the results of models. This understanding allows you to see why a model did what it did as well as discover invalid assumptions or results. Overall, it provides a greater trust in validated models.”

Charles River is offering free beta downloads of MAT to academics and government researchers. To learn more or to contact the MAT team for more information, visit the MAT page at www.cra.com/mat.
