Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I encountered a very strange problem again. Why the time series displayed on the chart are so strange? The Key time column I chose for my time series algorithm is cal_month(e.g 199001...), but why the date displayed on the time series chart is like :05/06/2448? (it should be like 199001..?) What is that data? And where exactly did it come from? What is the exact cause of this?
Hope it is clear for your help.
I am really confused on this and thanks a lot for your kind advices and help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Hi, all experts here,
Thanks for your kind attention.
I want to use time series algorithm to mine data from my case table and nested table. Case table is Date table, while nested table is the fact table. E.g, I want to predict the monthly sales amount for different region (I have region table related to the fact table), how can I achieve this?
Thanks a lot and I hope it is clear for your help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.

Hi all,
I have a very simple time series model which processing works fine without any problem. However when I run the following query
SELECT
[TimeSeries].[PriceChange],
[TimeSeries].[Symbol],
PredictTimeSeries(PriceChange, -3, 2)
From
[TimeSeries]
WHERE
[TimeSeries].[Symbol] = 'x'
I get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services
------------------------------
Error (Data mining): A time series prediction was requested with a start time further in the past than the internal models of the mining model, TimeSeries, specified in the HISTORIC_MODEL_GAP and HISTORIC_MODEL_COUNT parameters can process.
The following is the excerpt of the minding model script related to the two parameters:
<AlgorithmParameters>
<AlgorithmParameter>
<Name>MISSING_VALUE_SUBSTITUTION</Name>
<Value xsi:type="xsdtring">Previous</Value>
</AlgorithmParameter>
<AlgorithmParameter>
<Name>HISTORIC_MODEL_GAP</Name>
<Value xsi:type="xsd:int">1</Value>
</AlgorithmParameter>
<AlgorithmParameter>
<Name>HISTORIC_MODEL_COUNT</Name>
<Value xsi:type="xsd:int">10</Value>
</AlgorithmParameter>
</AlgorithmParameters>
These HISTORIC_MODEL_GAP (1) and HISTORIC_MODEL_COUNT (10) should accommodate PredictTimeSeries(PriceChange, -3, 2). Could anyone shed some light on this?

Hello,
I was working with Microsoft Time Series model (MTS) with some data, when in the mining model viewer, decision tree tab, I realized that the key time variable that I define, it was acting like a split variable.
So, I ask you, this is possible?, because, for me, this should not happen€¦.
After, I review the Data Mining Tutorial by Seth Paul, Jamie MacLennan, Zhaohui Tang and Scott Oveson, and I found, in the Forecasting part, that the key time variable (Time Index) it was acting like a split variable too, in for example, M200 pacific:Quantity and R250 Europe:Quantity.
So people, it€™s possible that a key time variable act like a split variable in a MTS model?
Thanks

Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am confused on key time column selection. e.g, I want to predict monthly sales amount, then what column in date dimension should I choose to be the key time column? Is it calendar_date (the key of date dimension) column or calendar_month?
Thanks a lot for your kind advices and help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.

Hi all,
I have MS Time Seeries model using a database of over a thousand products each of which has hundreds of cases. It amazingly takes only a few minutes to finish processing the model, but when I click Mining Model Viewer to view the models, it takes many hours to show up. Once the window is open, I can choose model for different products almost instantly. Is this normal?

I m using the Time Series Algorithm to forecast sales across regions for various products. Assume the model is built with last 3 years data with the periodicity being monthly.
Is it possible that sometimes I can make predictions based on just 1 yr or 2 yrs data for certain products alone or certain regions alone? Can this be done without having to retrain the already built model?
Also, is it possible that using the model, i can predict week-wise / month-wise / quarterly sales as well?

Hello,
I am new to SQL Server and learning lots very quickly! I am experienced at building databases in Access and using VBA in Access and Excel.
I have a time series of 1440 records that may have some gaps in it. I need to check the time series for gaps and then fill these or reject the time series.
The criteria for accepting and rejecting is a user defined number of time steps from 1 to 10. For example, if the user sets the maximum gap as 5 time steps and a gap has 5 or less then I simply want to lineraly interpolate betwen the two timesteps bounding the gap. If the gap is 6 time steps then I will reject the timeseries.
I have searched the BOL and MSDN for SQL Server and think there must be a solution using the PredictTimeSeries in DMX, but not quite sure if I can do this. I may be better off simply passing through the time series as a recordset and processing as I would have done in Access...(I am reluctant to do this as I have of the order 100 * 5 * 365 time series and growng by 100 each day and fear it will take quite some time...)
Can anyone help me by pointing me in the right direction please?
Unless there is a way of using PredictTimeSeries on its own, I think the solution is:
Identify if a record is the a valid one or part of a gap (ie missing values).
Identify the longest gap and reject or process data on this value.
Identify if a record preceedes or succeeds a gap.
For each gap fill it using a linear interpolation.
Thanks,
Alan.

Hi!
First question: How many months of data do you need to make this algorithm to work in Excel 2007? And is there an issue about data types in Excel for this algorithm?
I have found some odd behaviours regarding this. If I use the DM sample Excel 2007 with time series data everything works fine. If I copy and paste data into Excel 2007, from another data source, I can get a forecast of repeating values, that is one value, that will be repeated for each month that I am trying to do a forecast.
Should I avoid having time members for forecast dates in a column? Sometimes my forecast values will be placed below my dates that do not have values. If I am forecasting months in 2008, with month values from 2007 and 2006 the forecast values will be placed below my 2008 empty months.
Kind Regards

I'm going to create an analysis report based on time range. The data is grouped by the hourly range. There're two problems that I'm facing.
1. How can I generate such result set so that it will give me 0 count instead of missing that column?
2. How can I vary the start and end time which depends on another table?
I believe this is quite hard to be complete within a single SQL. However, I would still want to try. The SQL server is the Express version. No analysis service is available.

20050201 Person2 $3000
Obviosly for Person1 and 200501 I expect to see on MS Time Series Viewer $3000, correct?
Instead I see REVENUE(actual) - 200501 VALUE =XXX,
Where XXX is absolutly different number.
Also there are negative numbers in forecast area which is not correct form business point
Person1 who is tough guy tryed to shoot me.
What I am doing wrong. Could you please give me an idea how to extract correct

Hi Jamie:
I am building data mining models to predict the amount of data storage in GB we will need in the future based on what we have used in the past. I have a table for each device with the amount of storage on that device for each day going back one year. I am using the Time Series algorithm to build these mining models. In many cases, where the storage size does not change abruptly, the model is able to predict several periods forward. However, when there are abrupt changes in storage size (due to factors such as truncating transaction logs on the database ), the mining model will not predict more than two periods. Is there something I can change in terms of the parameters the Time Series Algorithm uses so that it can predict farther forward in time or is this the wrong Algorithm to deal with data patterns that have a saw tooth pattern with a negative linear component.
Thanks,

In SQL Server 2005, I want to do a set query on the following data that results in 3 groups:
Id
EventName
EventTime
1
First
41:40.2
2
First
41:41.6
3
First
41:43.1
4
First
41:44.4
5
Second
41:46.4
6
Second
41:48.3
7
Second
41:49.7
8
First
41:51.2
9
First
41:53.3
10
First
41:55.0
So, I want to have a query that returns one aggregate row for each of rows 1-4, 5-7 and 8-10 based on the EventName. Every time EventName 'changes' in the order that I sort it, I want to start a new grouping:
Group
EventName
Count
1
First
4
2
Second
3
3
First
3
With this query, I could also get the Min() and Max() EventTime for each group, etc.
However, this is proving difficult to do in set SQL. Obviously, if I group on EventName, then rows 1-4 *and* 8-10 will be rolled into my 'First' group. However, there is no other partitioning information that I can factor in that splits this data into *only* 3 groups, based on the order of the Event Time.
I have tried the various ranking functions, but the problem persists through any combination of function, PARTITION BY and ORDER BY that I can find.
Any insights would be appreciated!

Hi, all here,
I want to hear from you for your experiences on how can we be convinced by what the model predicts particularly for Time Series algorithm? As we are not able to see the model accuracy chart for that, in this case, how can use the model results? E.g. we wanna know the possible sales amount of next month for a particular store in order to buy in the goods, in this case, how can we make the most of the prediction by the model? To shop ower, well, if the result is too far away from the usual sales amount, then it is unbelievable, thus, in this case, what else can we try? Keep training the models until its results sounds reasonable? Or what else can we try?Thanks in advance for your advices and help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Hi
How can I visualize Microsoft Time Series prediction chart for web users? (for Internet Explorer browser)
Is there a way to do it using Reporting Services or special web controls?
I hoped Data Mining Web Controls helped me but they didn't support Microsoft Time Series.
-------------------------
Supported Algorithms
At this time, Data Mining Web Controls include the following:
- DMClusterViewer €“ For the Microsoft_Clustering algorithm.
- DMDecisionTreeViewer €“ For the Microsoft_Decision_Trees algorithm.
- DMNaiveBayesViewer €“ For the Microsoft_Naive_Bayes algorithm.
Models using other algorithms cannot be displayed with the Web controls.

Is there a way to visualize Microsoft Time Series in browser ?
When will there be such facility?

I have a relational table with daily sales for 364 days (52 week span) for 60 stores. I have created a Microsoft Time Series model using store as the case and the historical/actual line charts appear in the Charts viewer for each store. But only one prediction step is shown no matter how many prediction steps I select. I have tried this with an OLAP-based model and also tried a simple DMX query, all with the same result.
Thank you in advance for any help with this.

Hello,
I was working with Microsoft Time Series (MTS) algorithm and simulated data in order to evaluate/know it a little more.
I simulated 24 points of the model y[t] = 5.74-0.1486 y[t-1] + e[t] and 19 points of the model y[t] = 10.48-0.0486 y[t-1] + e[t] (a change of level), where e ~ N(0,0.01).
The MTS output is: if time>=23.5 then AR(3) else AR(1): y[t] = 6.23-0.2536 y[t-1].
So, I am wondering:
how the algorithm works whit the time variable as a split variable? Like the other variables? Only considering 4 time points?
Why the MTS algorithm produces AR(p) models where p is a little large (like the example: I simulated an AR(1) model and the output is an AR(3) model), what about parsimony models?
A AR model is a stationary model, so what happen if some data have trend? We need eliminate the trend before the MTS algorithm can be used?Thanks for your time
