You can download a free evaluation copy of Oracle Data Mining and try it out on your own computer. See the Oracle Data Mining Administrators Guide, which tells how to install a database and set up a user account. Download the Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (10gR2 or 11g) from the Oracle Technology Network. The Oracle Data Mining Option is installed by default with Oracle Database EE. For data analysts or those new to data mining, you will also want to download and install Oracle Data Miner, the free, optional graphical user interface. A summary of algorithms supported by ODM with links to the documentation is posted here. Instructions for installing Database Examples and using the ODM sample programs are in the ODM Administrator's Guide.
To get started quickly, Part I of ODM Concepts introduces you to the features and terminology of Oracle Data Mining. Then, use the Oracle Data Mining Tutorial to provide step-by-step guidance for using the Oracle Data Miner graphical interface. Additional resources include Installing Oracle Data Miner and Solving Business Problems using Oracle Data Mining Oracle By Example online courses. You can use the Oracle Data Miner (Data --> Import...) to import your own data in .csv text files and begin mining.
For application developers, the ODM Application Developer's Guide along with the Oracle Data Mining sample programs gets you started writing SQL- or Java-based data mining applications.
Some additional datasets for learning Oracle Data Mining include:
CUST_INSUR_LTV (dmp)
CD_BUYERS (dmp)
CHURNERS (csv
dmp)
EMPL_DATA (dmp)
LYMPHOMA (dmp)
Note: .dmp files can be imported into the Oracle Database using the IMP command at the DOS prompt. These dmp files were exported from user 'dmuser'. See the chapter "Original IMPORT" in Oracle Database Utilities for details.
Application developers can integrate predictive analytics into any report or enterprise application using ODM's server-based PL/SQL or Java APIs. See ODM Sample Programs for demo sample code.
