Do You Like To Break The Rules ?

Oct 6, 2004

Not long ago I accountered this situation: I had two databases on "MS SQL Server". In one of the databases there was a nomenclature with very large primary key.
I had to transport that nomenclature and transform the wide PK into single identity column into the other database.

I decided to use a function for that transformation. BUT that function had to mark somewhere which combination of the PK columns is relative to which identity value. BUT functions CAN'T WRITE under MSSQL.
So I took the challenge and mine all sources of information. The result was a function "Exec4Fun" that breaks the rule.
I suppose that with this function it's possible to avoid the restriction for triggers, which prevents writing in the triggering table? (not tested yet)

If someone needs such tools, just write back your e-mail and I'll send some code.

All the best and have fun :)

Matrix Page Break, Extra Space Displayed Before Page Break

Dec 6, 2007

I have a report with several matrix objects. The data contained in each matrix is simple. One matrix has one column of labels and a column of data. The other has 3 columns of data. Both matrix's only show about 25 rows of data. A variable amount of data is displayed above the matrix's so that sometime the render across a page boundary. Whenever this happens the matrix doesn't render rows down to the bottom of the page. A considerable amount of empty space is left on the page, the completed matrix is displayed on the next page. I'm wondering how to get the matrix to render in this empty space.

This problem only occurs when I view the report on screen, in the Visual Studio "Preview" window, or from the Report Server web site. Tiff, pdf and printed output doesn't contain the extra space.

I've tried adding my matrix to a List and a Rectangle to see of this would fix the problem but it didn't help.

I've check the dimensions and margins or the page and I don't think I have any sizing problems, everything should fit on the page.

User Rules

Feb 22, 2001

Please forgive my ignorance, however I am 2 months new to SQL-Server 2000.

Is there a way to create a rule specific to a user such that he can only SELECT from a table where a field equals a specific value.

In other words user Joe types in: SELECT * FROM SALES_BY_LOCATION. Because Joe's territory is Los Angeles, I want a rule that only retrieves sales data from Los Angeles.

Association Rules

Dec 3, 2006

1) I use the identifier of transaction and attribute in one table.

Do I can to build a association rules structure without the use of the nested tables?

I tried - did not turn out...

2) As it is necessary to use a main and child table, can not build a prediction query.

When I try to add the predict column in a criteria/argument (Field=PredictSupport), i'll given message:

"Nested table column cannot be used as an argument in a data mining function."

I can not use other columns, because they are not predicable.

Association Rules: Discretization

Aug 8, 2007

Hi there,
it has been a long i'm trying to execute Microsoft Association Rules on my database.

I solved memory leak problem now, but i still can't understand output rules.

Database contain all the italian student who took a degree last year. Here in Italy, they have to compile a summary where they speak about universitary experience. ie: they talk about experience with teachers (pointage from 1 to 5); they says if they want to continue in the universitary field or not, and so on.

Most of the rules, says:
Int_Stud=1-2, RapDoc>4

Int_Stud is the column where i store student intention to continue university. 1 means they want to go on, 2 means they do not want to continue to study. So, this rules has no sense, because it relates all the student (in my mind): the one who wants to continue university and the one who do not want to.

I think problem is that visual studio 2005 and analysis service has no understanding of Int_Stud world, they've no idea that Int_Stud can have just 2 values and that they're opposite each other. Is there a solution to this problem? Can i discretize this column?

Even if I know not to have perfect english, I hope to be understandable

Where To Find The MS Clustering Rules

Jul 16, 2007

Hey all,

I used the MS clustering method to run on my sample data, and I would like to apply the rules built to score/predict on another data set. But I am not able to find out where the rules are. I am wondering whether there are sql codes available that can be directly applied on the new data set. cheers

Association Rules Web Viewers

Jan 28, 2008

I note that there exist three web viewers for data mining algorithms, namely, DMNaiveBayesViewer, DMDecisionTreeViewer and DMClusterViewer. How come there are no viewers for association rules (itemsets, rules, dependency network)? Can you suggest any alternative way of showing such valuable information in a web application?

Association Rules - Importance

Feb 14, 2008


I understand Mr. MacLennan's explanation provided at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=282651&SiteID=1 and appreciate the time he took to explain how importance works. However, like the user with username "sang", I also ran the data in BI 2005 and got the same results listed by the aforementioned user. I did this using the following data:







donut
muffin

etc.

The rule muffin -> donut has an importance of -0.105302438, which is not the same as Mr. MacLennan's results. I tried switching the roles of a and b in a -> b and using different bases on the logarithms. I don't get the result of -0.105302438 with any of these. I also tried to calculate importance with a small data set I have and can't get the results using Mr. MacLennan's explanation with that data set either. Any thoughts on the descrepancy?

A Question About Association Rules

Jul 17, 2007

Hi



I am doing the Market basket analysis for a retailer using association rule. The whole data set is huge which contains grocery, clothes and books etc. If I want to check out the relationship between several different clothes brands, (e.g. LEVI'S and adidas), should I just remove all the grocery and books transactions, use the subset which only contains clothes transactions to re-run the association rules? Is this gonna work?



Thanks in advance!

The Data For Association Rules

Jun 20, 2007

Hi



I got a question about the data preparation of market basket analysis.



There are always some transactions with only one single SKU product. It seems that these kind of transactions have nothing to do with association. Shall I just exclude them or what?



Thanks in advance.

Usage Of Association Rules

Aug 15, 2006

Hello,

I want to score my data by only the assoziation rules I filtered in Mining-Model-Viewer.

Is this possible?

I recognized that MiningModel Predictionquery uses the generated Model (all rules).

Is there any way to influence the model at generating time.

Thanks a lot.

 

Hi,

I specified the point to solve my problem but I did not understand why MS SQL Server didn't recognize the Association parameters I but in. It uses the Minimum_Probability I put in, but the Minimum_Importance i wrote didn't care it, it use the default value.

I want to paste a screenshot here but it isn't possible. By the way I'm using the evaluation version, which should be same as the enterprise edition.

Hope for a soon answer.

Best Regard

Hi All,

I'm looking to mirror 17 servers from geographically dispersed locations around the UK to one central location.

Is there any rule of thumb to take into account server spec, memory requirements, DB Size

E.G. an x64 server can be the mirror for 30 databases provided it has x GB Memory ?

Association Rules Algorithm, Help?

Nov 22, 2007

I need to create a set of cases for a project that uses the Microsoft Association Rules algorithm to make recommendations for products to customers. My question is: the set of scenarios must include all transactions of customers for training?. or is it sufficient some percentage of total transactions? If i do not use all transactions of customers, could be that the algorithm does not consider some products in their groups or rules and could not make recommendations about these?

thanx

Trouble Filtering Association Rules

Jan 7, 2008

I've set up an association rules mining model on SQL Server 2005.

Below is the output for the "rules" tab in the model viewer:

0.457 0.480925197502775 BAKERS BASKET = Existing -> FR ORANGE JUICE = Existing
0.423 0.467835626151174 ONE EGG = Existing -> FR ORANGE JUICE = Existing
0.416 0.42489020548496 GRANOLA PARFAIT = Existing -> FR ORANGE JUICE = Existing
0.416 0.344523279228151 CROISSANT = Existing -> REG CAPPUCCINO = Existing
0.430 0.338244068974039 PAIN AU CHOC = Existing -> REG CAPPUCCINO = Existing
0.424 0.332652863071932 FR ORANGE JUICE = Existing, REG LATTE = Existing -> REG CAPPUCCINO = Existing


The problem is that I can't seem to reduce the minimum probability below .42 to view more rules.

I've considered that it might be becuase these are the only rules discovered, however I know quite a bit about the data and I would excpect many more associations.

The data is transactional in the format

TransactionID, ItemID

Quick Question Regarding Association Rules...

May 28, 2007

Hello,



I'm new to analysis services and hopefully this is a quick & easy question. I have a couple of quite large (163,000 tuple) tables with columns essentially representing a bit vector. I would like to mine for association rules but the number of '1' values are very, very sparse and they are the only objects of interest. How can I get more control over the algorithm---that is, how can I stipulate that the state of the column must be '1' to be considered? Any help or direction to the proper documentation would be great.

Prediction Query In MS Association Rules

May 22, 2006

Hi!

I'm building a mining model wiht MS Association Rules. After processing this model, the result includes some rules(example):



E = Existing, C = Existing -> B = Existing
F = Existing -> E = Existing
C = Existing, B = Existing -> E = Existing
F = Existing -> B = Existing
B = Existing, A = Existing -> C = Existing
F = Existing, B = Existing -> E = Existing
F = Existing, E = Existing -> B = Existing
D = Existing -> A = Existing
C = Existing -> A = Existing
E = Existing, A = Existing -> B = Existing

I want to buid a query that has two or more items on the left of the rules, example: E = Existing, C = Existing -> B = Existing
->I want to buid a query to predict that: when a customer buy 'E' and 'C' then he likely buys 'B'

Sequence Clustering And Association Rules

Jul 13, 2006

Hi

I read the paper of sequence clustering. It seems that the major application of the algorithm is for the web site. I was just thinking that can I apply this algorithm on the purchase sequences of credit card data?

If so,please also tell me the difference between sequence clustering and association rules on credit card data application. Although I realize that sequence clustering is a fully probabilistic model and it has the capability of prediction, association rules also give the probabilities of purchasing the other products.

Thanks in advance.

Creating A Taxonomy For Association Rules

Nov 23, 2007

Hello,

I would really appreciate if you could help me out. I am trying to create a taxonomy to be taken into account into the association rules algorithm. For example, if my data is a group of purchases from a supermarket I could have one client who bought milk, cookies and shampoo, and another who bough cheese, cookies and soap.

I would like to specify that milk and cheese belong to the category "dairy" and shampoo and soap belong to "personal hygene". If there are interesting rules regarding the categories I would like them to be taken into account. Additionally, I would not like to have rules like "milk -> dairy". If one specific object appers in a rule, its corresponding category should not.
In this scenario I could have milk and "personal hygene" in the same rule, but not shampoo and "personal hygene".

I have seen this done by other mining tools but I've been having trouble finding a way to make this possible in Analysis Services.

Thank you very much.

Organizing Business Rules In SSIS

May 30, 2006

Hi All,


I'm pretty new to SQL Server 2005 and I'm wondering how to organize my
business rules efficiently.


I'm willing to create a Package with several Data Flow Task in my
Control Flow, each Business Rule will be encapsulated in a Data Flow
task. I guess this is possible in SSIS but I can't find how my data can
be send from one data flow to another one. I definitly don't want my
dataset to be parsed completly for each business rule.


Does anyone have an idea how to implement this in SSIS?


Kind regards,


Sébastien.

Error On Associative Rules Viewer

Dec 18, 2006

Hello,

I don't know if this is the correct forum or if it would perhaps be the server setup & upgrade, however, I'll ask here first. I am going through the SQL 2005 data mining tutorials and have encountered an error that states:

Query (1,6) The '[System].[Microsoft].[AnalysisServices].[System].[DataMining].[AssociationRules].[GetStatistics]' function does not exist.

After looking around for a bit it appeared that this function is generally used in a stored procedure run from the server. Is this correct? What do I need to do to either correctly import the function into the project or to make sure that it is installed on the server?

We are running the Ent Ed. now, however, we just upgraded to this after I had already started on this project. Could that be a problem?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks for your time.

Association Rules Model For Problem

Aug 9, 2007

What would be the right design approach for the following problem?

I have a single table called SelectionFactors, which has the following columns and sample data:








ProjectID
Factor
FactorValue

1000
Countries
USA

1000
Countries
Canada

1000
Countries
France

1000
Languages
English

1000
Languages
French

1000
Company Type
Consulting

1000
Company Type
Software





2000
Countries
India

2000
Countries
China

2000
Countries
USA

2000
Languages
English

2000
Languages
Chinese (Simplified)

2000
Languages
Chinese (Traditional)

2000
Languages
Spanish

2000
Company Type
Retail

2000
Company Type
Dairy Products


The problem is to allow a descriptive analysis of the data to find patterns in the users selections. For instance,
if Languages->English is selected, what are the counts of projects for other Factor->Factor Value combinations?
Countries->USA = 2, Countries->Canada=1, Company Type->Consulting=1 and so on.

Since all the data is in this single table, are both the case and nested tables the same? What are the keys and inputs? I only need a descriptive analysis (no prediction) and ALL possible combinations MUST be part of the results; how should the model be designed?

Thank you,
Anna.

Business Rules Integration In SSIS

Jun 6, 2007

Similar to the BizTalk Business Rules engine does the SSIS provide any support for independent business rule management?
I would guess that through the use of Embedded CLR we can invoke the Business rules stored in the Business Rules Engine (either Biztalk Rule Engine or ILOG Rule Engine). Is there a construct in the SSIS similar to the BizTalk Call Rules Construct in the Biztalk Orchestration.

If this mechanism is not the preferred mechanism then are there any other mechanisms offered by SSIS which facilitate the use of Business Rule Engine Components within SSIS which make it easier to manage the business rules outside of the deployment.

Thanks
