General Issues Concerning Data Mining With SQL Server 2005
Nov 18, 2006
Hi
I am just starting to learn how to use data mining with SQL server 2005. I have some general questions which I hope someone out there can help me with.
Each month I have approx. 100.000 customers who buy a product.
I want to contact 10.000 of these with a letter for cross-selling some additional products.
Currently I choose these 10.000 randomly from the 100.000 customers. I now want to use SQL server 2005 data mining to choose these 10.000 better, to receive a better response rate. How do I transfer this knowledge to the 100.000 (potential cross-selling customers)
I understand that it could be set up in SQL server like the following:
case table: customer_id, gender, age, city, etc.
nested table: customer_id, product
Is this the way it should be approached and is there a special model/algorithm for this purpose?
Regards,
Dennis

Hi, all here,
I am wondering where can I store my mining results in data mining engine? For example, I got mining results like accuracy chart, decision trees, and other formats of results based on different mining algorithms I used for my data mining, so where can I actually store the results for reporting service use later? Is it possible to do that in SQL Server 2005?
Thanks a lot for any help and guidance in advance.

Hi, all experts here,
I would like to know if there is any way to migrate third-party data mining packages with SQL Server 2005 data mining algorithms together then we can have a comparison among all of them to get the best results for training models.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks a lot.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Hi,
I already have data mining experience with different software, but my company is now migrating to SQL Server 2005 and since it include a data mining module, I would like to learn how to use it properly (Analysis Services, DMX language DMX, €¦).
Is there companies that offers formation in data mining for SQL Server 2005 ?
Thanks!

Hi all,
Is this book still the only book written for SQL2005's data mining? Does anyone know where I can find its errata? I have never seen so many editorial errors (typos, mislabeling, etc.) in other books. I am not worried about those obvious errors, but I am afraid that some errors may be so deceiving that when I find out, a lot of time will have been spent on misguided effort.

I am attempting to create the "Classification - Children at Home" Data Mining Model as described in Larson's book.
Each time that I create it.. ONLY the ALL LEVEL is shown and it is impossible to expand the model to look at the Decision Tree, Neural Network, or the Clustering model etc. Drill down is enabled (tried it with and without enabling the drill down).
The Children at Home field has been populated with values from 0 - 4.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
regards Steve

I followed the tutorial posted at [URL] ...
Everything was ok until the last step where I had to process the mining structure which resulted in a warning
"Informational (Data mining): Decision Trees found no splits for model, Tbl Decision Tree Example."
What does this error mean? How do I resolve it? Also, I only see the first level in the Mining Model Viewer, I don't see the levels 2 and 3.

Hoping someone will have a solution for this error
Errors in the metadata manager. The data type of the '~CaseDetail ~MG-Fact Voic~6' measure must be the same as its source data type. This is because the aggregate function is not set to count or distinct count.
Is the problem due to the data type of the column used in the mining structure is Long, and the underlying field in the cube has a type of BigInt,or am I barking up the wrong tree?

I'm a beginner with SQL 2012 SSDT & SSMS. I get this error message when I try to deploy my project:Â
"Error 6
Error (Data mining): KEY SEQUENCE columns are not supported at the case level. The 'Customer Key' column of the 'TK448 Ch09 Cube Clustering' mining structure contains content that is not valid.
0 0
"
I am finding it hard to locate the content that is not valid. I've been trying to find a answer for this problem but can't seem to find anything. How can I locate the content that is not valid and change or delete it so that I can deploy this solution?

Having successfully created :
- a data mining structure with about 80 columns.
- a data mining model using Microsoft_Decision_Trees with 2 prediction columns.Â
I thought I would then explore the possibility of have more than 2 prediction columns, in this case 20.
I get an error message and I can't work out :
a) if this is because there's a limit to the maximum number of prediction columns and where that maximum is stated.
b) if something else has become corrupted
c) there's a know bug and if the error message is either meaningful or not.
Either way, I'm unable to complete the data mining wizardÂ
The error message is :Errors in the metadata manager. Either the mining structure with the ID of '[my model Structure]' does not exist in the database with the ID of 'DMAddinsDB', or the user does not have permissions to access the object.

Hi all,
I am using Microsoft_Time_Series and have set HISTORIC_MODEL_GAP to various values (from 1 to 21). I always get this error:
Error (Data mining): The 'HISTORIC_MODEL_GAP' data mining parameter is not valid for the 'My Time Series' model.
In Algorithm Parameters window, this parameters is not there by default, so I have to add it.
Any tip will be greatly appreciated.

Implementing data mining Add-in in an academic setting? We need to handle over 150 new students a semester and have their connection to Analysis Services survive for their four years at the college. We are introducing data mining to every freshman business student as a unit within their Intro to Excel class (close to a month of work to give them a sense of what is possible). Other courses later in their curriculum will expand on that introduction.Â
Once implemented, we would have as many as 900 connections to manage (four years from now). It is possible that multiple sections will be running at the same time, so 40 students may be accessing the data mining tools concurrently. Â
Is there a way to "bulk establish" the access credentials and establish those databases?

Hi,
I have just run a simple data set through a model to predict a simple true or false value (i.e. binary output)
The Lift Chart/Mining Legend in Analysis Services shows three results €“ Score, Population Correct (%), and Predict Probability (%)
Population Correct I beleive is the percentage of predictions it got right out of the total number of predictions it tried to make. Is this correct?
However, I can€™t work out how the other two are derived in particular the 'SCORE'. To give a live example the scores were as follows:
Model Score Pop Correct Pred Probability
Decision Trees 0.83 76.59% 54.28%
Neural Network 0.75 67.63% 50.05%
Ideal Model 100.00%
Can anyone help with this and give a detailed explanation?
Many thanks,
S Rajput

Hi,
I am trying to model data in analysis services with the Advance Create Mining Model function in the excel addin. I am having trouble creating an association model that works like the Associate button above the Advanced button.
The format of my data is like this
OrderID Product
100 Bike
100 Helmet
100 Shoes
200 Helmet
200 basketball
200 Bat
300 Shoes
300 Socks
The associate button works perfectly since it asks me which column is the transaction id (orderid) and which column I am trying to predict (product). The advanced create mining model asks me to determine what the columns are...
OrderID=key Product=Input+Predict?
When I run the advance create mining model associate, I get a browser that gives me no rules and the support for only one item itemset (each product but no combination of products).
Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to work like the associate button?

Ananth writes "A new feature is established in SQL Server 2005. That is Partitioned Table. I went through several articles in net regarding partioned table. But I did not get any generalized version of Partitioning.
For example I partitioned a table into 4 Filegroups based on Transaction Date. So I used range function to give ranges for 4 quarters of one year. It works fine. But I would like to generalize this scenario. It will work for one year. If new year comes ,I have to write new script and execute the same.
The Partitioned function should work for 12 months in a given year. So here year is the paramter and then that function should be construct based on the year automatically.
Can anybody give me answer asap."

I perform data mining on all products and a specific product category.
Do I need to create 2 data source views, one for all products and the other one for the specific product category?
Afterward, I run the Data Mining Wizard 2 times to create 2 mining structures.
I also need to add the same mining model (e.g. Bayes, Cluster) to each of these mining structures.
Is there any simple way to do it?
Thanks.
Joe.

A rather dumb question but I've installed an evaluation copy of SQL 2005 on my machine and a colleague would like the Analysis Services Data Mining capability on his machine (without the eval SQL Server).
Is there a license associated with such an installation when we buy 2005 or does it fall under client components which can be installed on any number of users machines?

Could someone give me the general syntax to pull xml data from a web server that I have access to? I do know that I can not use an ip address, I have to use the hostname, etc.
I was using something like
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK '\SERVERNAMESHAREPATHDATAFILE.XML', SINGLE_BLOB) as x
instead of using SERVERNAME I am user http:\www.mycompanyname.commycompanynamestoredata.xml
I do not understand why this does not work. I hope I gave enough information for this.
Please help.
Thank you

While recently working with several mining models, I came across something that struck me as pretty odd - and I'm hoping to find an explanation for the behavior.
Consider the following setup:
A single table in the relational database represents the only case table
A single, continuous column is the predictable
A mining structure has been created
The mining structure contains a single model, based on the MS Decision Trees algorithm
Input columns were selected for the model via the BI Studio wizard (i.e., those provided via the "Suggest" button)
The structure has been fully processed
Now, the interesting parts:
I view the scatterplot for the mining model, under the Mining Accuracy Chart tab
Back on the Mining Structure tab, I delete one of the input columns
I add the same column back into the structure
The structure is fully processed again
When I view the scatterplot for the mining model, under the Mining Accuracy Chart tab, a different set of data points are presented for the model predictions
A different set of decision trees under the Mining Model Viewer tab confirms thisHow could different patterns have been found this second time around, even though all of the input columns were the same (as well as the training cases)?
(Note: I encountered this situation while creating a new mining model that was identical to an existing one. Even though the models received the exact same inputs and training cases, they yielded different results. I was able to reproduce the behavior by using steps 1-6 above, though.)
Can someone provide some insight on this behavior, or some kind of explanation of what may be happening?
Thanks,
Joe Miller

Help!!! please!!!... I'm pulling my hair off... Having an external hosting for sql server is terrible for .net. Too many restrictions and they are not willing to help at all... I cannot connect directly, I have to do everything using strings. Honestly and it's a shame to admit it I never learned how to connect using strings, only using the wizard (upsizing DBs from Access to SQL Server)finally, after a month of trying I was able to connect to the database using a string like this:Dim CS As String Dim db_name, db_username, db_userpassword As String Dim db_server As String
db_server = "blah,blah,secureserver.net" /yes, with them >:( db_name = "DB##" db_username = "***" db_userpassword = "***"
Me.SqlConnection1.ConnectionString = "SERVER=" & db_server & ";DATABASE=" & db_name & ";UID=" & db_username & ";PWD=" & db_userpassword
I am probably not using it right but it's working to capture info using stored procedures but I've been trying to get my datagrids to connect and they are impossible... Any ideas? what would be the coding part of the datagrid/dataset/etc... connection? That probably means that I can't use the property builder or the dataset generator, right? Any ideas ? Thanks
(using 1.1 Framework)

Unfortunately, the tutorial is for the Beta version, and therefore there are major differences from the Beta to the current version. The steps can be used as objectives to accomplish.
1). The last page of the tutorial (item 7), Deployment data mining models - Not covered in this tutorial at this moment. What needs to be done in the deployment?
2). The Decision Tree in my project has one node, how would I make the tree show up?
3). My data results are not consistent with the tutorial? Would the software modifications since Beta be the reason?
