New Functionality and Changes Introduced with Decision Optimizer 8.6

To enable the user to create an Efficient Frontier report for Tree Aware Optimization, we’ve expanded constraint exploration to tree aware optimization.

We’ve introduced a new constraint option that allows the user to set a limit on number of treatments used for an Optimization Scenario.

Updated Decision Tree Editor
To improve the user experience in developing and editing Decision Trees within Decision Optimizer, we’ve introduced a number of enhancements and updated the user interface, including:
  • Best split improvements
    • Can now be applied to categorical string/enum predictors.
    • New menu option to compute and directly insert the best split.
    • New menu option to compute best split on selected predictor.
  • New top-down tree view
  • FSML import/export improvements
  • Numerous UI updates
    • Ability to add notes to a node
    • Add a Mean graph to Profile, Leaf, and Treatment views for continuous profile variables.
  • Adoption of latest versions of third party libraries to acquire security fixes.
  • Numerous defect fixes, including mixing upper/lower bound inclusive bins.

Updated Action Effect Modeling v1.1
  • We’ve introduced the ability to create/select a Holdout sample, and enabled viewing relevant reports by holdout and/or development samples, respectively.
  • Improvements in the action/predictor binning algorithm has helped reduce binning run times by 50% to 90% in benchmark projects.

Note: This release will require users to update to Xpress 8.14 and Xpress Insight 4.59.
