Version v.0.8.4

ThePortable Format for Analytics (PFA) is a specification for scoring engines: event-based processors that perform predictive or analytic calculations. It is a common language to help smooth the transition from statistical model development to large-scale and/or online production. For a model expressed as PFA to be run against data, an application is required.

Hadrian (API) isOpen Data's complete implementation of PFA for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Hadrian is designed as a library to be embedded in applications or used as a scoring engine container. To make Hadrian immediately usable, we provide containers that allow Hadrian to be dropped into an existing workflow. Hadrian can currently be used as astandard-input/standard-output process, aHadoop map-reduce workflow, anactor-based workflow of interacting scoring engines, or as aservlet in a Java Servlet container, including Google App Engine.

Titus (API) is Open Data's complete implementation of PFA for Python. Hadrian and Titus both execute the same scoring engines, but while Hadrian's focus is speed and portability, Titus's focus is on model development. Included with Titus are standard model producers, aPrettyPFA parser for easier editing, aPFA-Inspector commandline for interactive analysis of a PFA document, and many other tools and scripts.

In addition, Aurelius is an R package for producing PFA from the R programming language and Antinous is a sidecar app for building models in any environment where Hadrian can be deployed. These and other tools are included in the Hadrian repository.

See theHadrian wiki for more information, includinginstallation instructions and tutorials.
