How to learn data mining?

Hi
I am an Oracle developer with DBA experience
How can I learn data mining and launch a career as a data miner?

Hi,
You can certainly start by using ODMr and walking through the tutorial.
To be expert in the field, I would suggest going to any of the book sites and searching for books on datmining. You will find alot of material useful in learning about the art of datamining.
Typically it is not just knowledge of datamining techniques that is important, but understanding the domain. If you have experience with domains such as retail or financial, then you should consider studying datamining implementations that target those domains. The more direct benefit you can bring your users the better.
Good luck, Mark

The data mining feature comes with the 9i/10g Enterprise database edition. If you have installed the Enterprise edition, you got the server. Look for the DM directory in your database installation for more information.

How to use Data Mining for a blind DBA?

Hi, I'm a blind DBA and I need some input and some suggestions from the forum on how to access the Data Mining feature.
This feature is becoming more and more an essential part of my daily tasks, so I need a way to use it.
Database: Oracle 11.1.0.7.0
OS: Windows XP Pro and Linux
Adaptive Technology:
JAWS Version 11.0.1467 by Freedom Scientific BLV Group, LLC
JAVA Access Bridge by SUN Microsystems
I know there is a Windows program called Data Miner, unfortunately my JAWS speech synthesizer does not work with the interface and I need an alternative. I
read Oracle's documentation on the Data Miner API., but it is short on examples, details , and step by step instructions. Does anyone have a more
comprehensive set of examples on how to use the Data Mining API. from start to finish, specifically for market basket analysis? Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am not very knowledgeable about Oracle Data Miner, the graphical user interface to Oracle Data Mining, but I can respond to your question about API documentation.
You may find the source files for the Data Mining sample programs to be very helpful. They provide many examples. After installing Oracle Database, install Oracle Database Examples. This separate installation process installs the sample programs in the DEMO directory under Oracle Home. Instructions for installing and configuring the sample programs are provided in Oracle Data Mining Administrator's Guide. Here is the link to the relevant chapter in the 11.1 Administrator's Guide.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/datamine.111/b28130/sampleprogs.htm#BABEHFEB
As for the API documentation, the best place to start is probably the Data Mining Application Developer's Guide. Here is the link to the 11.1 Application Developer's Guide.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/datamine.111/b28131/toc.htm
The Data Mining PL/SQL API for creating data mining models is implemented in the DBMS_DATA_MINING package. The syntax of Oracle PL/SQL packages is documented in PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference. Here is the link to the chapter in the 11.1 version of that manual.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_datmin.htm#i1062150
The Data Mining functions for scoring (applying mining models to new data) are implemented as SQL functions. The syntax of Oracle SQL is documented in SQL Language Reference. Here is the link to the Data Mining SQL functions in the 11.1 version of that manual.

Oracle Data Mining - How to use PREDICTION function with a regression model

I've been searching this site for Data Mining Q&A specifically related to prediction function and I wasn't able to find something useful on this topic. So I hope that posting it as a new thread will get useful answers for a beginner in oracle data mining.
So here is my issue with prediction function:
Given a table with 17 weeks of sales for a given product, I would like to do a forecast to predict the sales for the week 18th.
For that let's start preparing the necessary objects and data:
CREATE TABLE T_SALES
PURCHASE_WEEK DATE,
WEEK NUMBER,
SALES NUMBER
SET DEFINE OFF;
Insert into T_SALES
(PURCHASE_WEEK, WEEK, SALES)
Values
(TO_DATE('11/27/2010 23:59:59', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 1, 55488);
Insert into T_SALES
(PURCHASE_WEEK, WEEK, SALES)

There are a lot of linear regression models and approaches for sales forecast out on the market, however I will focus on what oracle 11g offers i.e. package SYS.DBMS_DATA_MINING to create a model using regression as mining function and then, once the model is created, to apply prediction function on the model.
Therefore I'll have to go through few steps:
i) normalization of data
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW t_sales_norm AS
SELECT week,
sales,
(sales - 91423.95)/27238.3693126778 sales_norm
FROM t_sales;
whereas the numerical values are the mean and the standard deviation:
select avg(sales) from t_sales;
91423.95
select stddev(sales) from t_sales;
27238.3693126778
ii) auto-correlation. For the sake of simplicity, I will safely assume that there is no auto-correlation (no repetitive pattern in sales among the weeks). Therefore to define the lag data I will consider the whole set:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW t_sales_lag AS
SELECT a.*
FROM (SELECT week,
sales,
LAG(sales_norm, 1) OVER (ORDER BY week) L1,
LAG(sales_norm, 2) OVER (ORDER BY week) L2,
LAG(sales_norm, 3) OVER (ORDER BY week) L3,
LAG(sales_norm, 4) OVER (ORDER BY week) L4,
LAG(sales_norm, 5) OVER (ORDER BY week) L5,
LAG(sales_norm, 6) OVER (ORDER BY week) L6,
LAG(sales_norm, 7) OVER (ORDER BY week) L7,
LAG(sales_norm, 8) OVER (ORDER BY week) L8,
LAG(sales_norm, 9) OVER (ORDER BY week) L9,
LAG(sales_norm, 10) OVER (ORDER BY week) L10,
LAG(sales_norm, 11) OVER (ORDER BY week) L11,
LAG(sales_norm, 12) OVER (ORDER BY week) L12,
LAG(sales_norm, 13) OVER (ORDER BY week) L13,
LAG(sales_norm, 14) OVER (ORDER BY week) L14,
LAG(sales_norm, 15) OVER (ORDER BY week) L15,
LAG(sales_norm, 16) OVER (ORDER BY week) L16,
LAG(sales_norm, 17) OVER (ORDER BY week) L17
FROM t_sales_norm) a;
iii) choosing the training data. Again, I will choose the whole set of 17 weeks, as for this discussion in not relevant how big should be the set of training data.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW t_sales_train AS
SELECT week, sales,
L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7, L8, L9, L10,
L11, L12, L13, L14, L15, L16, L17
FROM t_sales_lag a
WHERE week >= 1 AND week <= 17;
iv) build the model
-- exec SYS.DBMS_DATA_MINING.DROP_MODEL('t_SVM');
BEGIN
sys.DBMS_DATA_MINING.CREATE_MODEL( model_name => 't_SVM',
mining_function => dbms_data_mining.regression,
data_table_name => 't_sales_train',
case_id_column_name => 'week',
target_column_name => 'sales');
END;
v) finally, where I am confused is applying the prediction function against this model and making sense of the results.
On a search on Google I found 2 ways of applying this function to my case.
One way is the following:
SELECT week, sales,
PREDICTION(t_SVM USING
LAG(sales,1) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l1,
LAG(sales,2) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l2,
LAG(sales,3) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l3,
LAG(sales,4) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l4,
LAG(sales,5) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l5,
LAG(sales,6) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l6,
LAG(sales,7) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l7,
LAG(sales,8) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l8,
LAG(sales,9) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l9,
LAG(sales,10) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l10,
LAG(sales,11) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l11,
LAG(sales,12) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l12,
LAG(sales,13) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l13,
LAG(sales,14) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l14,
LAG(sales,15) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l15,
LAG(sales,16) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l16,
LAG(sales,17) OVER (ORDER BY week) as l17
) pred
FROM t_sales a;
WEEK, SALES, PREDICTION
1, 55488, 68861.084076412
2, 78336, 104816.995823913
3, 77248, 104816.995823913
4, 106624, 104816.995823913
As you can see for the first row there is a value of 68861.084 and for the rest of 16 values is always one and the same 104816.995.
Question: where is my week 18 prediction ? or maybe I should say which one is it ?
Another way of using prediction even more confusing is against the lag table:
SELECT week, sales,
PREDICTION(t_svm USING a.*) pred
FROM t_sales_lag a;
WEEK, SALES, PREDICTION
1, 55488, 68861.084076412
2, 78336, 75512.3642096908
3, 77248, 85711.5003385927
4, 106624, 98160.5009687461
Each row out of 17, its own 'prediction' result.
Same question: which one is my week 18th prediction ?
Thank you very much for all help that you can provide on this matter.
It is as always highly appreciated.
Serge F.

Kindly let me know how to give input to predict the values for example script to create model is as follows
drop table data_4svm
drop table svm_settings
begin
dbms_data_mining.drop_model('MODEL_SVMR1');
CREATE TABLE data_4svm (
id NUMBER,
a NUMBER,
b NUMBER
INSERT INTO data_4svm VALUES (1,0,0);
INSERT INTO data_4svm VALUES (2,1,1);
INSERT INTO data_4svm VALUES (3,2,4);
INSERT INTO data_4svm VALUES (4,3,9);
commit;
--setting table
CREATE TABLE svm_settings
setting_name VARCHAR2(30),
setting_value VARCHAR2(30)
--settings
BEGIN
INSERT INTO svm_settings (setting_name, setting_value) VALUES
(dbms_data_mining.algo_name, dbms_data_mining.algo_support_vector_machines);
INSERT INTO svm_settings (setting_name, setting_value) VALUES
(dbms_data_mining.svms_kernel_function, dbms_data_mining.svms_linear);
INSERT INTO svm_settings (setting_name, setting_value) VALUES
(dbms_data_mining.svms_active_learning, dbms_data_mining.svms_al_enable);
COMMIT;
END;
--create model
BEGIN
DBMS_DATA_MINING.CREATE_MODEL(
model_name => 'Model_SVMR1',
mining_function => dbms_data_mining.regression,
data_table_name => 'data_4svm',
case_id_column_name => 'ID',
target_column_name => 'B',
settings_table_name => 'svm_settings');
END;
--to show the out put
select class, attribute_name, attribute_value, coefficient
from table(dbms_data_mining.get_model_details_svm('MODEL_SVMR1')) a, table(a.attribute_set) b
order by abs(coefficient) desc
-- to get predicted values (Q1)
SELECT PREDICTION(MODEL_SVMR1 USING *
) pred
FROM data_4svm a;
Here i am not sure how to predict B values . Please suggest the proper usage . Moreover In GUI (.NET windows form ) how user can give input and system can respond using the Q1

How to get the Oracle Data Mining

Hi
I downloaded Oracle Database 10g r2 on Oracle's download website, and I want the ODM, but it is said in the white paper that ODM is a priced option. I'd like to know how to get it.

Data Mining is a priced option shipped with Oracle Enterprise Edition. You can get Data Mining option by installing Oracle 10gR2 and select 'general purpose' with the pre-configured database. Data Mining option is installed as default in that choice.
If for production purposes, customers do need to purchase Data Mining option lisence through Oracle sales.

How to design a churn Data Mining application

Dear All,
I am a beginning software engineer. I am interested in designing a churn data mining applications for telecom companies.
My questions are:
1. Can I use the ODM sample codes to do this for creating the models,lifts, and scoring, etc?
2. How do I attach Java Swing front-end applications to the data mining in the Oracle 9i database server ?
3. Are the scoring posted in the sample codes accurate and useful in life deployment?
4. On the data warehouse for the data mining, what are the special considerations for the warehouse vis-vis dimensions, fact tables, etc?
Regards,
Olatuja Abayomi

Thanks :)
However, what i mean is the implementation (java file).
For example, the Java RMI tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/rmi/overview.html defines two interfaces on server side.
One interface is for the Remote Interface, which has to be on server side.
Another is an interface with generic type, which is
public interface Task<T> {
T execute();
} Then both copiled interfaces (two class files) are compressed into a jar file, and this jar file needs to be reachable by both client and server side of the code.
So, client side needs the implementation of interface Task.
Or after we defined the two interface (Remote interface and Task interface) on server side, we also implement the Task interface
on server side, then compile the server side and compress compiled interfaces and implementation (three cless files) into a jar file, and pass this
jar file to client, so server needs no implementation for the interface Task, since the implementation is defined and compressed in the jar file already.
I hope i explained better this time, or i am just lost at this point.

SQL Server Excel Add In for Data Mining: How do I retrieve the coefficients underlying the logististic regression model in excel

I constructed a logistics regression model inside Excel using the Data Mining Add In. I would like to see the coefficients for each input variable. I can't seem to find this inside excel. I tried running queries in DMX inside
Mgt Studio but that seems to return multiple coefficients
for each input variable. I am seeking
ONE coefficient for each variable.
Other applications I have used in the past provided the intercept and one coefficient for each input variable. Can someone advise on how I can achieve that inside excel or Analysis Services?
Thanks
Rich

We have this problem when we install the add-in using an Administrator's login ID.
The problem is that the add-in automatically registers the Excel add-in. This causes a whole host of problems, including the one you describe (even when we install with the user as the admin on their own machine). Other problems include conflicts with other Add-ins (e.g. nVision) & utlities that import PDF into Excel.
For our Citrix environment we do the following:
· Install Essbase Add-In as Administrator
· Replace “ntuser.dat” file in Default User profile with the “ntuser.dat” file from Administrator’s profile. (Replace C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT with C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\NTUSER.DAT).
· Delete existing user profile from the system
Once user logs back in, a new profile will be created to work with Essbase add-in.
Note:
1. 1. NTUSER.DAT file is a hidden file. It is only visible if show hidden file option is enabled
2. Deleting user profile from the system remove all user customization such as shortcuts, favorites, pst file etc. as well.
BUG NOTE: When you try to Unregister the Excel Add-in from your Start button, the shortcut points to the wrong file name. The file name should be "unRegExcelAddin.exe"
I hope this helps.

2. Essbase Administration Services Release 9.3.1 Windows Installer
I installed both software and I started Administration Services Console, log in etc. Essbase server is working fine.
In Administration Services Console I click on Essbase Servers | localhost | Data Mining | Algorithms and got error:
"message from server [Data Mining Framework is not available. Please contact Administrator].
It looks like I need to install some other software to have access to data mining features. Which software do I need to install?

Hi there ,
Have anyone had tried essbase data mining feature that can be use from EAS ? I tried to learn from dbag but seems we need more comprehensive step-by-step guidance on how to implement such feature..
Thanks

Can you try providing the port number together with the server name?
If you are using the embedded http server then it is FAIRY:9000.
The port number can vary (depending upon the selection you made)
Also check Hy9eas.log under diagnostics/services folder and see any error message is there in that.

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)?

How to import data from a text file into a table

Hello,
I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
C:\>imp

Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!
Thanks,
Mitra
