The performance of data mining applications directly impacts their bottom line. Oracle Database 11g Release 1 has improved, and in some cases, dramatically improved, the performance of model building in data mining. This technical white paper demonstrates the performance improvements by comparing model building in Oracle Database 11g release 1 with model building in Oracle Database 10g Release 2.Thu, 01 May 2008 19:06:10 GMT{82885b00-1019-bf54-371a-f9576e2a827c}http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/odm/odminer.htmlOracle Data Miner 11g adds wizard support for Oracle Data Mining 11g's two newest algorithms: Logistic Regression & Multiple Regression.

Oracle Data Mining changes the nature of the equation for consultants, IT departments, and application vendors by making data mining a natural extension of the Oracle Database. You already rely on Oracle Database to store and manage your data. You are increasingly leveraging in-database analytics such as statisical functions to derive more value from your database investment. Now, you can take the next logical step by performing data mining analysis right where the data exists: in the database.Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:21:12 GMT{1dfbac7f-2534-e5b6-1375-4b6a22399978}http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/odm/odm_data_analysts.htmlOracle Data Mining empowers you to analyze your data like never before. With Oracle Data Mining you can build more models faster, and deploy those models more quickly and easily. With Oracle Data Mining, you can mine more sources and types of data, scale to high dimensional and large volumes of data, use state of the art algorithms, and build, evaluate and deploy models immediately throughout the enterprise. Oracle Data Mining provides disruptive technology that changes the way you extract information from data and reduces your dependence on traditional statistical environments. With Oracle Data Mining, you can now mine the data you want to mine.Fri, 29 Jun 2007 17:50:53 GMT{a049d83e-2832-21e8-cb3e-76f5b28382bd}http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9025314&intsrc=hm_listA ComputerWorld article excerpted from the book Java Data Mining: Strategy, Standard and Practice, by Mark F.
