Bogdan and Raman are currently outside of Las Vegas at the KDD 2008 (Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining) conference. At the conference they are showing all the goodness that is SQL Server 2008 Data Mining, but also a "secret project" that Bogdan has been working on all summer - Data Mining in the Cloud...

Recently I received some customer feedback that SQL Server Data Mining "doesn't have enough algorithms."  More specifically, the comment was that we have the same capabilities are other Data Mining providers, we just "hide" many facilities as algorithm parameters rather than...

The time series algorithm has had some major changes for SQL Server 2008. We've ramped up the algorithm and added prediction against new data. While the new data prediction is just as cool as the algorithm changes, I'll have to save that for later - this post I'll just tell you about the algorithm. ...

Dejan Sarka writes about how to get " Cases from Multiple Dimensions of OLAP Cubes in the Time Series Algorithm " - an issue that has stymied many users. He also has a range of great posts on other DM and BI topics as well - worth a good read!

Just found this great article on MSDN showing how to use session Time Series models in RS to forecast while generating a report. Cool beans!

Last week I was playing around with the Time Series algorithm - ok I was showing a customer - and I wanted to show the prediction language used to display the charts. So I used the tools and showed them the basic prediction query for forecasting, but I wanted to go further and show them cool stats like...
