May 17, 2007Hi,
Does anyone know any good tech schools that have SQL Server 2005 data mining classes? If around the Chicago area that's even better.
Thanks,

Where Can I Store The Mining Results From Mining Models In SQL Server 2005 Data Mining Engine?
Apr 26, 2006Hi, 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.
Retrieving Data From SqlDataSource (old School)
Jan 27, 2006Hey,
I need to retrieve info from a database and display it using a repeater control. No problems there! But, I need to add data before displaying it, and I don't mean add data to the database but rather to the repeater control. For eaxample:
I have a simple database containing two fields: [date] and [event]. The repeater will display these events in a monthly view. That is: the repeater will have 31 rows and the events will be displayed next to the day it happens. Now if there's nothing happening a certain day then I need to add that day manually because it will not be bound, right! See my problem?
In other words, how do i loop through a records when using the SqlDataSource?
Thanks,Björn Andersson
Data Mining :: Informational (Data Mining) - Decision Trees Found No Splits For Model
Sep 29, 2015I 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.
How Can We Compare Other Data Mining Software Packages With SQL Server 2005 Data Mining?

Data Mining - Scalar Mining Structure Column Data Type Error...
May 31, 2006Hoping 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?
Data Mining :: Content In Data Mining Structure Not Valid - Deployment Fails
Apr 30, 2015I'm a beginner with SQL 2012 SSDT & SSMS. I get this error message when I try to deploy my project:Â
"Error 6

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?
Data Mining :: MS Excel Data Mining Add-ins / Maximum Number Of Predict Columns
Jun 4, 2015Having 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.
Error (Data Mining): The 'HISTORIC_MODEL_GAP' Data Mining Parameter Is Not Valid
Oct 25, 2007Hi 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.
Data Mining :: Implementing Excel Data Mining In A Classroom Setting?
Jun 15, 2015Implementing 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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow Is The 'Score' Value Derived In The Lift Chart/Mining Legend For Data Mining Models?
Sep 26, 2006Hi,
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,

Excel 2007 Data Mining Add-in Advance Create Mining Model Question
Apr 11, 2007Hi,
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?
Can I Filter The Data On Mining Structure, Mining Model?
Jul 18, 2006I 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCreated Database At School But Can't Open It At Home
Mar 19, 2007Please help me.
I'm a college student working on a database project using MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
The program (SQL SMSEE) is installed on both the computers in class and on two of my computers at home. The first installation resulted in the "remote connections" error. No matter what I do, I can't get the program to fully load. So I tried installing on another computer at home. The second installation went well. Didn't do anything different from the first installation, but any hoo....................
My 2-week old problem is this - I save my database that I do in class on my thumbdrive. Last class, I saved all the files that had my database's name on it on my thumbdrive--.mdf, .log, .bak, etc. On the second home computer, I cannot open the databases that I work on at school. Even my professor is stumped on this one.
Here is what I'm doing......
After I connect to the server, I right-click "Databases" then left-click "Restore Database".
In the "To database" box, I enter the name of the database, as I saved it at school.
In the "To a point in time" box, I leave the default "Most recent possible" entry.
I select "From device" as the location of backup and click the "..." button. The file is on my thumbdrive, so I click "Add" and select the location on my usb (with the .bak extension) and click OK.
I pick the most recent file checkbox and click "OK".
The green progress circle goes to 50% and then gets stuck. The database never opens and the Object Explorer shows the database name followed by "(Restoring...)". So if I try to do anything else with it, I get an error message stating the database in the middle of a restore and that I have to wait until its done. Well, of course it never finishes.
Please help me. Right now I am stuck doing duplicate work at home and at school and am making little to no progress. The final project is due on 26 March and right now I only have my tables, a few attributes and a couple of relationships. And I have a LOT more work to do.
Thanks.

to display data like above would be simpler. The above timetable would be similar all through the year.
But my 3rd requirement is that, there is a option wherein the school admin can edit the timetable for any particular day or a week based on presence/absence of a particular teacher. So if a teacher who is teaching Maths is not present for 2 days, they might assign a different subject(eg., Physics) for those 2days to a different teacher.
so the table should look like below for those two days only based on the date selection.

I am not sure how exactly I can mention the dates wherein I can allocate the days when the periods are changed and how exactly same timetable should be shown for the entire year if there is no change.
suppose the timetable is changed for two days 24/01/2015 and 25/01/2015 wherein Maths is replaced with Physics subject, how to retrieve the changed data for only those two days.

How To Access The Data From A Custom Data Mining Plugin ?
Dec 20, 2006I'm stucked in a problem and I thought if you would be so kind as to helping me to resolve it.
I'm implementing a clustering algorithm plugin for text mining. I've already read the tutorials and sample codes provided by the MSDN Library.
Well... My problem is: I can't go through the data when the Predict method is called. I've read that this method implements the "core" of the custom algorithms. Here is a small snippet of my code for you to understand my doubt:
STDMETHODIMP ALGORITHM::Predict(/* [in] */ IDMContextServices* in_pContext,/* [in] */ DM_PREDICTION_FLAGS in_Flags,/* [in] */ IDMAttributeGroup* in_pPredAttGroup,/* [in] */ DM_CaseID in_CaseID, /* [in] */ ULONG in_ulCaseValues,/* [in] */ DM_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE* in_rgValues,/* [in] */ ULONG in_ulMaxPredictions,/* [in] */ ULONG in_ulMaxStates, /* [out] */ DM_ATTRIBUTE_STAT** io_prgPredictions,/* [out] */ ULONG* out_pulPredictions) {
for(UINT i=0;i<in_ulCaseValues;i++) {
DM_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE& dmattributevalue = in_rgValues;
ULONG iAttribute = dmattributevalue.Attribute;
if (iAttribute == DM_UNSPECIFIED)
continue;
double dblValue = ::DblContinuous(dmattributevalue.Value);
char buffer[129];
sprintf(buffer,"%f ",dblValue);
RENAN_Log::log(buffer);
}
return S_OK;
}
As you can see, I'm going through in_rgValues to get its values, but i'm only obtaining the first register of the table on the database. I need to roll over a kind of resultset so I could access all the registers I need. Is there any way to do so ?
I expected Predict() received a matrix containing all my data, but the only thing I noticed that could represent the data is that in_rgValues vector. So I can go through this vector, but it holds only the first register of the table in the database (that's what's being saved on my log). I need all of the registers in order to pre-process the data and implement my clustering algorithm.
Well... That's it... I would be very pleased if you could help me.
Data Mining :: How To Mine Data From One Spreadsheet And Place It In Another
Jun 15, 2015I have very little experience with programming and data mining, but I am working on a project where I need to take data from one spreadsheet and place it in another. Since it is hard to describe what I would like to do, I will provide an example:
SPREADSHEET 1
Column 1, Column 2
100, ?
101, ?
102, ?
103, ?
SPREADSHEET 2
Column 1, Column 2
102, 202
100, 200
103, 203
101, 201
In this example, the data in Column 1 is always tied to the data in Column 2 (i.e., 100 in Column 1 means 200 in Column 2, etc.) However, the data for Column 2 is only available in SPREADSHEET 2; moreover, the data is not in the same order in both spreadsheets.
My question is how can I create some sort of program where I can transfer the data from SPREADSHEET 2 into SPREADSHEET 1?

Excel Data Mining Add-in For Categorical Data
Aug 5, 2007Thank you very much for your previous answers conserning clustering algorithm.
I change a bit my data and now I can get two and three clusters as I wish.
But now I have a different question. I wish to keep my Structure and Model for further trials with different algorithm values, like cardinality. I tried the following
I selected in excel Data Mining and then the option cluster button.
Then in the cluster wizard I chose analysis service data source and I reform the query as I need adding only at the end
where "STAFF_YES" = 1. Then I choose the needed columns and target value. Finally I select browse model, enable drill through only and I finish the wizard and get some results, rather good. But i need to try again with different parameters.
I tried Business intelligent Studio to check my Analysis service. The structure were here but when I changed any parameter and I tried to reprocess I got the following messages

The errors that I can see in the code that you gave in your answer are the following and they are more or less the same as I had previously
I tried the code but initially I have encounter the following problems.
1. In any line that have the declaration As Server, As Database like in
Public Function CreateDatabase(ByVal srv As Server, ByVal databaseName As String) As Database gives me the problem that type Database is not declared the same type Server is not declared and it does not give me any option.
2. In addition to that for As DataSource, As RelationalDataSource, As RelationalDataSourceView, As ScalarMiningStructureColumn, As DataSourceViewBinding, gives me the problem that type is not declared.
3. Finally in mc = New MiningModelColumn("Yearly income", Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID("Yearly income", Type.GetType(MiningModelColumn))) is not accesible in this context because it is 'Private'.
I have some more problems but I thing that by solving the above that I referred I will solve the rest.
Thank you any way.

Apr 23, 2006Hi,
I've come along way learning about databases and SQL. I can write basic queries now. Even some with subQueries. What I need to learn, is how to approach data mining. Can someone suggest the best path to follow, to learn how to accomplish data mining from a very large database?
I don't just need to produce reports of acquired data. I need to go in and grab data and look for patterns against known result sets. I hope that makes sense.
Thanks,
