Abstract

The traditional approach to integration of data mining algorithms with OLAP is that of predictive mining applied on transactional data with the aim of explaining the findings manually discovered via OLAP. We propose an alternative model, in which a descriptive mining system operates on data already aggregated for OLAP, namely, on periodic snapshots of observed measures. The proposed solution aims to provide the business analyst with hypotheses about relative frequencies of snapshots satisfying various dimensional values, as guidance for OLAP-based analysis. The rich inventory of hypothesis features in the GUHA data mining method and the efficient processing by the underlying LISp-Miner tool is being exploited for this purpose.
