mining_attribute_clause::=

Description of the illustration ''mining_attribute_clause.gif''

Purpose

This function is for use with clustering models created by the DBMS_DATA_MINING package or with Oracle Data Miner. It returns the cluster identifier of the predicted cluster with the highest probability for the set of predictors specified in the mining_attribute_clause. The value returned is an Oracle NUMBER.

The mining_attribute_clause behaves as described for the PREDICTION function. Refer to mining_attribute_clause.

Examples

The following example lists the clusters into which customers of a given dataset have been grouped.

This example, and the prerequisite data mining operations, including the creation of the km_sh_clus_sample model and the mining_data_apply_v view, can be found in the demo file $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/dmkmdemo.sql. General information on data mining demo files is available in Oracle Data Mining Administrator's Guide. The example is presented here to illustrate the syntactic use of the function.

SELECT CLUSTER_ID(km_sh_clus_sample USING *) AS clus, COUNT(*) AS cnt 
  FROM mining_data_apply_v
  GROUP BY CLUSTER_ID(km_sh_clus_sample USING *)
  ORDER BY cnt DESC;
