MODSQUAD, The Purdue Data-Driven Discovery of Models Team

Our team consisted of both Statistics and Software Design experts. Our involvement in the DARPA Data-Driven Discovery of Models (D3M) program included developing a TA3 system, which we entitled ModSquad, participating in joint standards design meetings, presenting at the project workshops on a variety of topics, and investigating the TERRA-REF datasets and challenge problems, resulting in an interactive data exploration and model fitting interactive interface for several TERRA-REF datasets, and finally culminating with an analysis of state-of-the-art atmospheric research data. We feel that we accomplished the tasks assigned to our team to the benefit of the overall program and provided a high return on investment for DARPA, AFRL, and the D3M program leadership.
