About this Item

This book is not just another theoretical text on statistics or data mining. Instead, it's designed for DBAs, database administrators, who want to buttress their understanding of statistics to support data mining and customer relationship management analytics and who want to use SQL, Structured Query Language. Each chapter is independent and self-contained with examples tailored to business applications. Each analysis technique is expressed in a mathematical format that lends itself to coding either as a database query or as a Visual Basic procedure using SQL.Each chapter includes: formulas (how to perform the required analysis, numerical example using data from a database, data visualization and presentation options (graphs, charts, tables), SQL procedures for extracting the desired results, and data mining techniques.About the authors:Robert P.

About this title

Synopsis

This book is not just another theoretical text about statistics or data mining. No, instead it is aimed for database administrators who want to use SQL or bolster their understanding of statistics to support data mining and customer relationship management analytics.

Each chapter is self-contained, with examples tailored to real business applications. And each analysis technique will be expressed in a mathematical format for coding as either a database query or a Visual Basic procedure using SQL. Chapter contents include formulas, graphs, charts, tables, data mining techniques, and more!
