DATA MINING techniques. PREDICTIVE MODELS with SAS Enterprise Miner

SAS Institute implements data mining in Enterprise Miner software, which will be used in this book focused predictive models. SAS Institute defines the concept of Data Mining as the process of selecting (Selecting), explore (Exploring), modify (Modifying), modeling (Modeling) and rating (Assessment) large amounts of data with the aim of uncovering unknown patterns which can be used as a comparative advantage with respect to competitors. This process is summarized with the acronym SEMMA which are the initials of the 5 phases which comprise the process of Data Mining according to SAS Institute. The essential content of the book is as follows: SAS ENTERPRISE MINER WORKING ENVIRONMENT MODELLING PREDICTIVE TECHNIQUES WITH SAS ENTERPRISE MINER REGRESSION NODE: MULTIPLE REGRESSION MODEL LOGISTIC REGRESSION DMINE REGRESSION NODE PARTIAL LEAST SQUARES NODE.
