Objects of ClassType clsMiningModel contain the definitions for data mining models that are contained in the MiningModels collection of a clsServer object. Each model contains a collection, called the Columns collection, of data mining columns (that is, objects of ClassType clsColumn) that correspond to the case table definition for the model. Each of these data mining columns can, in turn, contain its own collection of data mining columns in the Columns collection. Such columns are referred to as nested columns. In addition to the Columns collection, the mining model object also contains references to Roles, DataSources and CustomProperties collections, which are used in the same manner as their counterparts under the cube object.

备注

After you create a mining model object by invoking the AddNew method of the server object's MiningModels collection, define the structure of the mining model. The most important step in this process is to determine the model's subclass type by setting this property to either sbclsOLAP or sbclsRelational. Data mining models whose SubClassType is sbclsOLAP (that is, OLAP data mining models) are based on an OLAP cube. Data mining models whose SubClassType is sbclsRelational (that is, relational data mining models) are based on a table from a relational database. The choice of the model's SubClassType determines how the rest of the model's structure is defined. After that, you can determine other elements of the model design, such as the data mining algorithm that the model will use and the roles that will be associated with the model.

OLAP Data Mining Models

To establish the case set for an OLAP data mining model, set the CaseDimension property of the clsMiningModel object to a dimension within a cube; this automatically defines the case level that provides case key columns for the mining model as the last enabled and visible level in the selected dimension. Then set the individual columns in the Columns collection of the clsMiningModel object to refer to dimensions, members, member properties, and measures in the cube to be used for input and predictive information.

Relational Data Mining Models

To establish the case set for a relational data mining model, select the key columns from a table or view in a relational database and then add column objects to the Columns collection that refer to these key columns. Next, add columns that refer to other columns in the table to the Columns collection, to supply input and predictable information to the data mining model.

Examples

A. Creating an OLAP Mining Model Manually

The following example builds a mining model based on the Sales cube in the FoodMart 2000 sample database:

Public Sub CreateOlapMiningModel_1()
'------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Declarations - Identify all of the variables that will be needed to
' create the data mining model.

    ' this object is being invoked directly instead of through an MDStore interface..
    Dim dsoColumn As DSO.Column
    Dim dsoRole As DSO.Role

        'If this model exists, delete it.
        dsoDb.MiningModels.Remove "CustSalesModel"
    End If
    
    'Create a new mining model called CustSalesModel.
    Set dsoDmm = dsoDb.MiningModels.AddNew("CustSalesModel", sbclsOlap)
    
    'Designate FoodMart 2000 as the data source for this mining model.

    Set dsoColumn = dsoDmm.Columns.AddNew("Customer Id")
    'Identify the level in Sales that this column is based on.
    Set dsoColumn.SourceOlapObject = dsoLvl
    'Identify the type of column this is.
    dsoColumn.DataType = adInteger ' This enumeration is from ADO.
    'Identify this column as a key.
    dsoColumn.IsKey = True

    'Unlock the model after processing is complete.
    dsoDmm.UnlockObject
End Sub

B. Creating an OLAP Mining Model Automatically

The following example automatically creates and OLAP mining model based on the Sales cube in the FoodMart2000 database:

Public Sub CreateOlapMiningModel_2()
'------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Declarations - Identify all of the variables that will be needed to
' create the data mining model.
'------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Dim dsoSvr As New DSO.Server
    Dim dsoDmm As DSO.MiningModel
    Dim dsoColumn As DSO.Column
    Dim dsoRole As DSO.Role
    Dim dsoNestedCol As DSO.Column

'------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Before the model is created, check for a previous incarnation of it.
' If it exists, delete it. Then create a new one.
' Give the new model a new data source, and give it a role.
' Then describe the model for browsing of the schema, and declare the
' algorithm that will be used to predict with.
' Finally, set up the OLAP properties that the model will need.
'------------------------------------------------------------------------
    dsoSvr.Connect "LocalHost"
    Set dsoDb = dsoSvr.MDStores("Foodmart 2000")
    
    If Not dsoDb.MiningModels("CustSales_Olap2") Is Nothing Then
        dsoDb.MiningModels.Remove "CustSales_Olap2"
    End If
    
    Set dsoDmm = dsoDb.MiningModels.AddNew("CustSales_Olap2", sbclsOlap)    

    'Create a new mining model role called All Users.
    Set dsoRole = dsoDmm.Roles.AddNew("All Users")

    
    dsoDmm.Description = "Analyzes the purchasing behavior of customers"
    dsoDmm.MiningAlgorithm = "Microsoft_Decision_Trees"
    dsoDmm.SourceCube = "Sales"
    dsoDmm.CaseDimension = "Customers"
    dsoDmm.TrainingQuery = "" 'Let DSO figure out the training query.
    
'------------------------------------------------------------------------
' In this next step, the update method checks to see whether there are any
' columns in the columns collection. In this case, because there are not
' any, the update method will automatically add columns based on the
' structure of the Sales cube.
'------------------------------------------------------------------------
    dsoDmm.Update 'Let DSO automatically populate the Columns collection.
    
    'Enable the Products dimension.
    'Set dsoColumn = dsoDmm.Columns("Products")
    'dsoColumn.IsDisabled = False

    'Make the Unit Sales measure predictable.
    Set dsoColumn = dsoDmm.Columns("Unit Sales")
    'Enable the column.
    dsoColumn.IsDisabled = False
    'Make the column predictable.
    dsoColumn.IsPredictable = True

    ' Set the last updated date to today's date.
    dsoDmm.LastUpdated = Now
    ' Save the model's metadata.
    dsoDmm.Update
'------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Lock the cube, process it, and then unlock it.
' Note: During processing a number of events will be fired. These events
' are trapped by the database object's ReportAfter, ReportBefore,
' ReportProgress, and ReportError events.
'------------------------------------------------------------------------
    'Because the model is about to be processed, lock it.
    dsoDmm.LockObject olapLockProcess, "Processing the data mining model in sample code"
    'Process the model.
    dsoDmm.Process processFull
    'Unlock the model.
    dsoDmm.UnlockObject
End Sub
