Data Mining Tutorials

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS) makes it easy to create sophisticated data mining solutions. The Analysis Services tools provide the capability to design, create, and manage data mining models and to provide client access to data mining data. The step-by-step tutorials in the following list will help you learn how to get the most out of Analysis Services so that you can work efficiently, right from the start.

• Data Mining Tutorial
  This tutorial demonstrates how to build and work with several different types of mining models in an Analysis Services project. The mining models are built within a series of scenarios that demonstrate uses for the mining models. The tutorial uses the Adventure Works sample database as a basis for the scenarios and mining models.
• Bike Buyer DMX Tutorial
  This tutorial demonstrates how to create, train, and explore clustering and decision tree mining models by using the Data Mining Extensions (DMX) query language. You will then use these mining models to create predictions that determine whether a customer will purchase a bicycle.
• Market Basket DMX Tutorial
  This tutorial demonstrates how to create, and train association mining models by using the Data Mining Extensions (DMX) query language. You will then use these mining models to create predictions that describe which products tend to be purchased at the same time.
