Creating a Predictive Model Using Third-Party Data Mining Applications

Many companies offer data mining applications and workbenches. These tools are specialized for the data mining workflow and are usually rich in data mining features and options. MicroStrategy Data Mining Services integrates seamlessly with these applications in the following ways:

• MicroStrategy is used as the source of the data mining dataset.
• After the third-party application develops the PMML-based predictive model based on the dataset, the model is imported into MicroStrategy and used to generate reports.

You can use any of the following options to provide the MicroStrategy dataset report to third-party applications:

• Save the dataset report as a data mart in MicroStrategy. For more information on data marts, see Accessing Subsets of Data: Data Marts.
• Export to a particular file format. See the MicroStrategy online help for more information on exporting reports from MicroStrategy.
