On the intelligence of the intelligent data analysis

Some functional features of software tools for computer data analysis are described, which make it possible to assign software tools of this type to the class of intelligent systems (in the meaning of this term that is traditional for research in artificial intelligence). The abilities of intelligent data analysis (IDA) are demonstrated based on the example of the formalization and solution of the problem of prediction of resource intensity for projects of design and the production of complex software and hardware systems for HVAC equipment for the telecommunications industry using the JSM method for automated hypothesis generation. The basic descriptive and argumentation capabilities of the JSM method are demonstrated, which make it possible to use it as an IDA platform.
