Abstract
This note briefly describes ROOT, which is a free and open-source data mining tool developed by CERN, the same lab where the World Wide Web (WWW) was invented. Development of ROOT was motivated by the necessity to address the challenges posed by the new generation High Energy Physics experiments, which are expected to produce and analyze thousands of terabytes of very complex data every year.
ROOT is an object-oriented data analysis framework, written in C++. It contains several tools designed for statistical data exploration, fitting, and reporting. In addition, ROOT comes with powerful high-quality graphics capabilities and interfaces, including an extensive and self-contained GUI development kit that can be used to develop easy to use customized interfaces for the end users. This note provides some simple examples of how ROOT can be used in an insurance environment.
