New Cloud Data Mining Addin Usability Feature (well kind of)

Bogdan did an awesome job putting together the modified Data Mining Addin for the cloud. We saw quite a few downloads of his new addin, but surprisingly and unfortunately, didn't see a lot of usage! Strange? Maybe. Bogdan thought about the issue for a

Data Mining in SQL Server 2008 Book Review

I just read a great review of our book from Richard Lees in Australia.  Richard is one of the early adopters of Analysis Service and Data Mining, so he has a lot of experience in this area (we actually reference some of his samples in the book!).

Querying like the Data Mining viewers do

Those kids won't eat anything!

I did my BI Power Hour demo at PASS 2008 yesterday and it featured my twin boys Bowen and Logan. Logan (right) has an ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) that limits his diet (no milk products, gluten, or soy) and Bowen has some sensory issues, but that doesn't

Time Series Reporting Stored Procedure - Part 4 of 3

OK, OK, I know it's just not right to do a part 4 of a three part series , but I've gotten enough demand to expand these stored procedures just a little bit. I casually left out a class of time series models that contain nested tables since it made things
