A Salford Systems client has recently published a book chapter focused on MARS® in “Statistical Models of Characteristics of Metal Vapor Lasers.”

Intro: In this Chapter, MARS models have been obtained based on all available data for examined CuBr lasers and not only on random samples from the conducted experiments. For this reason, the data are not random, since they have been selected by the researcher. On the other hand, in this way, the fullest possible information about the investigated dependences is utilized. Unlike classic parametric techniques, the models in this chapter are entirely data driven. The data are taken from 274 observations of all 12 variables, described in Table 2.2. Observations where some measurements are missing have not been included. All models are the best MARS models of the respective type. Although the presented models are complex in form, they require few computations when calculating a predicted value. What is more, these are relatively easy to interpret for each specific experiment case.
