Data Mining Wizard F1 Help (SSAS)

Use the Data Mining Wizard to create a new mining structure and associated mining model. A mining structure represents the business problem you are trying to solve by containing the columns that describe the problem and the bindings to your source data. A mining model lets you analyze your data for patterns and to make predictions based on the patterns. You can create a mining model from a relational schema or a cube.

The Data Mining Wizard guides you through the following steps:

  • Select the type of data source on which to base the mining model.
  • Select the data mining technique.
  • Specify the data source.
  • Select the training data for the mining model.
  • Select the case key.
  • Identify the attributes and measures for case-level columns. (OLAP only)
  • Specify how the mining model columns will be used, and add nested tables.
  • Specify the content and data type of the mining model columns.
  • Filter the data used to train the model. (OLAP only)
  • Complete the Data Mining Wizard.

After you create the mining model, you can use Data Mining Designer to edit its properties.
