Abstract:
1. A method for developing a data model in a data mining system, comprising: providing a database table of user predefined data transformations, the data transformations in the database table being reusable by a plurality of data models; providing raw data from a data mining operation; developing a data model of variables using at least one data transformation selected from the database table and the raw data; and writing a specification for applying the data model operationally, wherein the step of writing a specification comprises writing a reusable set of instructions for applying the data model operationally, wherein the database table of predefined data transformations associates each of the predefined data transformations with a unique identifier, a description and a validity period and wherein the developing step comprises retrieving the at least one predefined data transformation from the database table according to its unique identifier; wherein the developing step includes determining a set of variables for a desired prediction, wherein the set of variables include at least one predefined data transformation selected from the database table; and deriving a mathematical relationship between the set of variables.
