Suggest me a data mining engine plz

Hello everyone, I am a beginer of data mining. I am trying to build a java program using the JDM API and MySQL database. Could you tell me what is a data mining engine(DME)? I have tried to google what DME I can use but there is no one. I am so confused now.

Hi,
The Oracle Data Mining Option, now part of the Oracle Advanced Analytics Option, does not run on MySQL.
If your want to explore the use of Oracle Data Mining, I would suggest you use the PL/SQL api as the Java api, based on JDM, has been deprecated.
You will want to review the documentation and then go to the sample code to give it a try:

Beginner installing SQL Server 2014 for Excel Data Mining

Hello, I'm a complete beginner with servers but Im desperately trying to gain access to the SQL server for use with the data mining addin for excel.
Could someone please help. When I try to make a connection in Excel by choosing DATA MINING> <No Connection> New> it then asks me for a Server Name in the connect to Analysis Services box. How can I find out what my Sever name is please? I have
tried all sorts of names that I have found such as SQLEXPRESS or localhost but nothing works. It also tells me to 'Ensure that the Server is running'. Another error message I receive: No connection can be
made because 'the target machine actively refused it'.
I would be really grateful for some troubleshooting tips.
Thank you

Collation error when data mining

I'm trying to process a data mining model but keep getting this error: "Errors in the OLAP storage
engine: The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while processing the..."
I changed my sql server collation to to Latin1_General_CS_AI with a compatibility level of 100, and in SSAS, I set it to Latin1_General_100 and "Case Sensitive" checked...but I still get the same error...am I not setting the collation correctly?

I changed my sql server collation to to Latin1_General_CS_AI ...
The SQL Server setting is just a default value for new databases, when you don't explicit define the collation in the CREATE DATABASE command; same for the database setting, also just a default value. The effective collation is defined on column level.

Processing a data mining structure throws an error

Processing a data mining structure throws an exception stating the following:
"Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while the 'IDK' attribute of the 'Test IDK' dimension from the 'Project1' database was being processed."
"Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key was converted to an unknown member because the attribute key was not found. Attribute IDK of Dimension: Test IDK from Database: project1, Record:17072643"
I am using a DB view as a DSV. It does not have a unique primary key. Since DB view is getting multiple results per IDK, the IDK repeats for multiple rows. The same IDK is defined as Key column for the mining model. Not sure if that is the
issue. Please help!
Thanks
Shallu

Hi Shallu,
According to your description, you use a database view in the data source view that do not have a primary key, so you get the error
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key was converted to an unknown member because the attribute key was not found. Attribute IDK of Dimension: Test IDK from Database: project1, Record:1707264
when processing the project, right?
In this case, please refer to the links below which describe the similar issue.

Oracle data mining module is implemented in database?

Hello.
I want to know where the ODM module is implemented.
Is it implemented inside the database?
Or, is it implemented as an extension module of the database?
In this case, ODM module can be plugged into the database and it can use its functionalities...

Oracle Data Mining is an integrated component of the database engine itself. It is better not to think of it as a data mining module, but rather think of Oracle Data Mining as the Oracle database's built-in machine learning capabilities.
If you take a look at the PREDICTION function, you will see that this is a built-in SQL function. This is not an extension, not a UDF, not a pl/sql function, etc. It can execute at the storage tier of Exadata as part of smart scan. It is similar in the way it works to a function like the built-in substr, but applies a mathematical model instead. It leverages underling database functionality that is used by many parts of the database, such as memory management, shared cursors, etc. The data flows to this function just as it does to the others built-in SQL functions.
Some of the model training routines will craft SQL, just as is done by other database components. For example, statistics collection from dbms_stats also crafts SQL to assist in its work. However, the implementation of the mining algorithm is still C code that is part of the database codebase leveraging other underlying, specialized database functionality.
You could not separate Oracle Data Mining and attach it to something else - it is built as part of the Oracle database.

Data mining option

Hi,
The banner that comes up when connecting to our server says it is using Data Mining Option. We want to use OLTP. Should I re-install the database ?
The install screen did not make it clear that it was going to install data mining option.
Any help is appreciated
Vissu

Is there a reason that you don't want the data mining option installed? It shouldn't hurt an OLTP database to have it installed if you're not using it.

Installing Data Mining

Hi,
I would like to install and try to use data mining option. I was following Data mining Admin's Guide but something is going wrong. I have installed EE (enterprise edition) and in dbca for database I have checked "Data mining". I have checked v$option. Data Mining was true, but Data Mining scoring engine (DMSE) was false. So I use runInstaller to install DMSE. But after than when I checked v$option DMSE was true :-) but Data Mining got false :-(.
So I have tried to run manually catodm.sql to re-install Data mining. It passed without error but no success. User DMSYS exist, but v$option was false for Data Mining.
Thanks for help

Data Mining on data specified and filtered by the user in runtime

Hi Experts,
i am new to Data Mining in SAP BI (we are on BI 7.0 SP Level 20). I familiarised myself with APD and Data Mining by reading some interesting and useful threads in this forum and some other resources. Therefore I got a understanding about the topic and was able to create basic data mining model for an association analysis and an corresponding APD for it and write the results into a DSO by using the data source. But for now I was not able to find a solution for a concrete customer requirement.
The user shall be able to select an article, a retail location and a month and get the top n combinations sold with that article in the particular location and month. For that he may not access the data mining workbench or any other SAP internal tools but he shall be able to start the analysis out of the portal (preferable a query).
We had some thoughts on the scenario. The first idea would be to create an APD for every location for the last month. As we need to cover more than 100 locations, this would not be practicable. Therefore I think it would be necessary, that the user can select the particular filters, and the data mining would then be executed with the given input.
The other idea was to use a query as source. The user would start this query and filter location and month in it. The result of the query could then be used as the source for the APD with the association analysis. Therefore we would need to create a jump point from that query, which starts the APD with that results. After that the user should be able to start a result query, which displays the result of the association analysis (ideally this result query would start automatically, but starting it manually would be ok, too).
So, I have the following questions for these scenarios:
1.) Is it possible to create variants of a single APD, for automatically doing the data mining for the different locations?
2.) is it possible to start an APD out of a query, with the particular results regarding filtering?
3.) Can we place a query directly on the data mining results (how?) or do we need to write the data mining results in a DSO first?
4.) What about the performance? Would it be practicable to do the data mining in runtime with the user waiting?
5.) Is the idea realistic at all? Do you have any other idea how to accomplish the requirement (e.g. without APD but with a query, specific filter and conditions)?

tv ?= cl_htmlb_manager=>get_data(
                         request = runtime->server->request
                          name    = 'tableView'
                              id      = ''tbl_o_table" ).
IF tv IS NOT INITIAL.
DATA: tv_data TYPE REF TO CL_HTMLB_EVENT_TABLEVIEW.
tv_data = tv->data.

BW Data Mining

Hello!
I need information about the following BW Data Mining topics. Hope, someone can help me?
-What 3rd Party Tools are available für Data Mining? (I just know "IBM Intelligent Miner")
-Does someone have experiences with performance of the DM-algorithms? System requirements? Mass data?
-Are there possibilities to improve the performance?
-What is known about new features in Netweaver BI 7.0 for DM?
-Does someone have special experiences in DM in the automotive industy? Are there typical business processes known, which are useful for BW Data Mining?
Thank you for help!
Regards,
Peter

Hallo!
I need different information about BW data mining.
One thing is, what are typical business scenarios for the different algorithms. So it is easy to find such for decision trees, association analysis and maybe for ABC analysis. But i have little problems to find real scenarios vor weighted score tables and regression analysis. It would be helpful to hear about some.
I have to write a paper for my company about data mining with bw. While we have no experiences in this area I´m looking here for people having.
Also Performance. The problem is not to try out with APD and Data Mining models. But to find experiences with this.
Good or bad performance with this or this algo? Or how can I optimize performance for mass data?
After this I have to design typical business scenarios. Especially for automotive area if possible.
So what the question for me is, what is possible with the algorithms? Where are problems with them?
It would be great if you could provide me with more information about your experiences in this area.
Thanks,
Peter

Data Mining overflow error while loading the mining viewer

I developed a time series model that processes succesfully. The problem I have is that when I try to view the mining model viewer that displays the times series on a chart, I get the error below:
An error occurred while a prediction query was being executed:
'Error (Data mining): An overflow was encountered while converting a predicted value to the '' column, at line 1, column 33. A higher precision data type for the column is recommended.'.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Error (Data mining): An overflow was encountered while converting a predicted value to the '' column, at line 1, column 33. A higher precision data type for the column is recommended. (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 2008 R2.)
It looks like the probability value (which is a float data type, for example 0.4452938765) is being stored in a particular column, and the data type of that column cannot contain the range of decimal places that the probability has.
I don't know which column to look for to change its data type like the error messages says. Would anyone have any idea?

Hello,
Thanks for your posting.
It is more related to Data Mining issue in this case. I move the thread to
Data Mining forum for better support. Thanks for your understanding.
