Hi, all experts here,
Thank you for your kind attention.
Could please any of you give me some advices for if there are tutorials and demos avaiable which cover all the SQL Server 2005 data mining built-in algorithms?
That will be great to hear from any of you shortly. Thanks a lot in advance.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
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?
Hi, all here,
I am having a more considertaion about Data Mining plug-in algorithms. When we say we are going to embed a uesr plug-in algorithm, so what is the context for that ? I mean in which case then we thing we need to embed a user plug-in algortihm? I know when we say we are going to embed a user costomermized plug-in algorithm, it means we want something more costomized. But what kind of customized features are generally concerned? Is it independant for different market sectors?
I dont think we can just try to embed a plug-in algorithm then compete it with avaialble algorithms to see which one is with better prediction accuracy?
Would please someone here give me some guidances about that?
Hi,
I recently started using SQL 2000 Analysis Manager. I wanted to try data mining but was unable to get the Mining Model Wizard to load available techniques.
When I select a cube and "New Mining Model" I get the following error:
"Unable to get list of data mining algorithms."
"Object of provider is not capable of performing requested operation"
Please help.
Thank you very much,
Robert
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
Microsoft released an introductory tutorial for data mining in September 2007, and I was attempting to match the results on:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms169911.aspx
I was not able to match the results, so then I went "under the hood" for the tables, and discovered that my copy of AdventureWorksDW has truncated values in the Education field of the ProspectiveBuyer table. I had wanted to connect "EnglishEducation" from the Mining Model to "Education" in the "Input Table" to see if the additional linkage would affect the prediction results (the wizard does not automatically link these fields because they technically do not have the same name).
1) Is everybody's "Education" field in the "Prospective Buyers" table populated with truncated values? (which may be intentional since it is a sample dataset) -- compare to "EnglishEducation" field in the vTargetMail table
2) Am I the only one getting 0.50580 for all rows when I use "Decision Tree" (per the tutorial instructions)? By contrast, I was able to see a variance in expression values for clustering and naive Bayes.
My guess: everybody has a truncated "Education" field, and there is something different in how the data mining model was run under the Decision Tree option to yield the tutorial's numerical results for "expression".
Hi everyone, I'm trying to get the data mining tutorial building but I'm getting tons of ATL errors.
When using the wizard to add "Simple ATL Objects" I get messages telling me that the IDMAlgorithm object already exists. It's really driving me insane, because it's stopping me from moving on completely. I've tried deleting the project and recreating it several times with no avail.
Hopefully someone will know what's causing the troubles. Thanks in advance,
-David
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,
Hello Everyone,
I am reading DataMining Tutorial and right now I am at the Mining Algorithms section. I cannot understand any of the algorithms. For example take the following text... what a bunch of mouthful bla bla bla it is ....
"The Microsoft Decision Trees algorithm supports both classification and regression and it works well for predictive modeling. Using the algorithm, you can predict both discrete and continuous attributes.
In building a model, the algorithm examines how each input attribute in the dataset affects the result of the predicted attribute, and then it uses the input attributes with the strongest relationship to create a series of splits, called nodes. As new nodes are added to the model, a tree structure begins to form. The top node of the tree describes the breakdown of the predicted attribute over the overall population. Each additional node is created based on the distribution of states of the predicted attribute as compared to the input attributes. If an input attribute is seen to cause the predicted attribute to favor one state over another, a new node is added to the model. The model continues to grow until none of the remaining attributes create a split that provides an improved prediction over the existing node. The model seeks to find a combination of attributes and their states that creates a disproportionate distribution of states in the predicted attribute, therefore allowing you to predict the outcome of the predicted attribute"
In the above text what is meant by discrete and continious attributes? what is regression? what is predicted attributes? what are input attributes? what is distribution of states?
Is there a source which explains these algorighms in a easier way ....
Before page 12, step by step instructions work!
Then there is code for AllProducts.aspx that doesn't work if one inserts the code
into the DataTutorial project started on page 1. Yes I changed the name of the CodeFile!
The code given for AllProducts.aspx.cs doesn't compile.
I was doing better without the tutorial!
I can gleen out some concepts but that is all.
If that is all, why have a tutorial?
Hi, all here,
I am having a question about plug-in algorithms in SQL Server 2005. Since we are able to implement our own algorithms in SQL Server 2005 analysis services architecture, so my question is: what benefits can to a great extent be achieved? Like say, we are going to implement a plug-in algorithm, so what considerations should be concerned?
Thanks a lot in advance for any guidance and help.

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.

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
after i installed sql server 2005 DM add-ins, i tried using it with office 2007 so i choose (start---->all programs----->microsoft sql 2005 dm add-ins---->getting started) so the getting started wizzard was opened, i selected from it (use an existing instance of microsoft sql server 2005 analysis services that i adminster) because i already had a version of it installed on my computer. then i tried to connect to analysis services by selecting 'server name'=local host, an error appeared which is "unable to discover meta data on the server 'local host' . user noha needs to be adminstrator of the server to run the configuration tool". how can i be the adminstrator of the server?????????.........plz reply me soon,thanks in advance

managed plug-in framework that's available for download here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=DF0BA5AA-B4BD-4705-AA0A-B477BA72A9CB&displaylang=en#DMAPI.
This package includes the source code for a sample plug-in algorithm written in C#.
in this source code all .cs files are modified for clustering algorithm
if my plugin algorithm is of association or classification type then what modifications are requried in source code???
I'm attempting to use RDA to synchronize a pocket pc emulator with SQL Server 2005 database by following tutorial http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454892.aspx, which uses AdvWorksMobile database that comes with SQL Server 2005.
When get to testing of "To test application features " ( step 4 of the merge replication setup lab ), I am receiving SQLCe Exception errors.
ORIGINALLY, I was able to deploy an application and view the local database on the emulator, but once I clicked "InitSinc" button, I received an error.
"Failure to connect to SQL Server with provided connection information. SQL Server does not" exist, access is denied because the SQL user is not a valid user on the SQL Server, or the password is incorrect.
Found this error listed in Server Agent Errors log http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172357.aspx, but it wasn't very helpful since it doesn't provide any suggestions on fixing the problems.
I am brand new to SQL CE Server , mobile programming and .NET framework in general so please bare with me
All the connections / security settings, etc that were set up were taken from a tutorial so I am not sure what SQLCeServer is complaining about. Reading up on the error on the web didn't help, it all pointed to making sure that the snapshot folder had correct permissions set up. I verified that MACHINENAMEUISR_MACHINENAME guest user had Read rights to the database so I don't think that piece is the problem. Otherwise ,Merge publication has been setup in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio by following the tutorial.
I am trying to run this sync on my home pc so there should be no issues with any user permissions
I have IIS installed
I did NOT have SQL Server Agent running in management studio at this time
I am trying to run this tutorial on an XP machine, which is my regular home PC so I dont think there are any special networking settings to consider
I am able to hit http://localhost/AdvWorksMobile/sqlcesa30.dll from my pc OK, but when I try to hit it from a cradled emulator ( after replacing "localhost" with "MACHINE_NAME" ), Internet Explorer on the emulator gives me a "Cannot Connect With Current Settings" error message. This part wasn't part of tutorial but decided so not sure if I am supposed to be able to hit it from my emulator..so I am not sure if the fact that I can't hit it is related to the problem.
AFTER STARTING SQL SERVER AGENTin Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I killed the application, and after relaunching it, it hits "The Specified table does not exist [Vendor]" error. This time it doesn't even launch first - that is I dont even get to pressing "InitSinc" button. Debugger is showing that this error is hit on the following line in AdvWorksMobile.AddWorksDataSetTableAdapters
int returnValue = this.Adapter.Fill(dataTable);
I am not sure why the errors changed on me after starting SQL Server Agent.
What can I do to fix this connection problem?
Thank you so much for your help!

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

Hi,
I want the tutorial for developing Integration Service for copying the database from Oracle 9i to SQL Server 2005.
If anybody knows then pls give me the steps..
Thanx in advance.
While building the expression for the property: ConnectionString, I am facing an issue. The expression, I am trying to assign is '@[User::varFileName]'. When I clicked on the 'Evaluate Expression' button, the above expression is not returing any value in 'Evaluated Value' window. Please respond we have a solution.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I just want to know what are the data algorithms available for sql server 2005 and can i use data mining as a web service

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?
