Summary

One of the most important functions of data mining is prediction. In this chapter, you've learned how to find the best mining model for the defined problem and the existing dataset. Microsoft Accuracy Chart provided diagrams such as Classification Matrix, Lift Chart, and Cross Validation, which check the mining model against the test dataset. After finding the best mining model(s), you can use the prediction functionality using the DMX language. You've learned about the DMX query structure and cross-prediction joins with the Prediction Join clause.
