7 The Data Mining Sample Programs

You can learn a great deal about the Oracle Data Mining APIs from the Data Mining sample programs. The programs illustrate typical approaches to data preparation, algorithm selection, algorithm tuning, testing, and scoring. Each program creates a mining model in the database. All the programs include extensive inline comments to help you understand the code.

See Also:

Oracle Data Mining Application Developer's Guide for information about the Data Mining APIs

This chapter includes the following sections:

Installation and Setup

The Data Mining sample programs are installed with Oracle Database Examples. They are also available for download from the Oracle Technology Network:

The programs require access to a database that includes the sample schemas. Before you can run the programs, you must run two configuration scripts to configure the data and assign the required privileges to your user ID.

Install the Sample Programs

Follow these steps to install the sample programs:

  1. Install Oracle Database with the sample schemas, or obtain access to a database that includes the sample schemas.

    • If you followed the instructions in "Install Oracle Database", the sample schemas are installed automatically in the starter database. Be sure to unlock the SH schema, as described in step 11.

    • If the database does not include the sample schemas, you can install them manually or by using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. See Oracle Database Sample Schemas for instructions.

  2. Determine whether or not Database Examples was installed with Oracle Database. Database Examples provides a set of sample programs that illustrate numerous features of Oracle Database, including Oracle Data Mining. The programs are loaded into the RDBMS/demo subdirectory of Oracle home.

    If Database Examples was not installed, you can perform the installation by following the instructions in "Install Oracle Database Examples". Alternatively, you can download the Data Mining sample programs from the Oracle Technology Network.

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/odm/index.html
    

Run the Configuration Scripts

Follow these steps to configure the sample data and grant the necessary privileges to your data mining user ID.

  1. Log in to SQL*Plus with system privileges.

    Enter user-name: sys / as sysdba
        Enter password: password
    
  2. If you do not have a user ID for your data mining activities, you can create one by following the instructions in "Example: Create a Database User in SQL*Plus".

  3. Run dmshgrants.sql to grant data mining privileges and SH access to your user ID. Several tables in SH are used by the Data Mining sample programs. Specify the data mining user name as the parameter. Specify the full path of the Oracle home directory for ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME.

    @ ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\RDBMS\demo\dmshgrants dmuser
    
  4. Now connect to the database as the Data Mining user.

    CONNECT dmuser
    Enter password: password
    
  5. Run dmsh.sql to populate the schema of the Data Mining user with tables, views, and other objects needed by the sample programs. Specify the full path of the Oracle home directory for OACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME.

    @ ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\RDBMS\demo\dmsh
    COMMIT;
    

Locate the Sample Programs

This section explains how to locate the sample programs if they were installed with Database Examples.

To locate the PL/SQL programs, navigate to the parent directory and search for the files that start with dm and end with .sql.

For example, if Database Examples was installed in Oracle home C:\app\demotest\product\11.2.0\db_1\, then navigate to C:\app\demotest\product\11.2.0\db_1\RDBMS\demo\ and use Windows Search to find the files named dm*.sql. Windows Search returns the list of Data Mining PL/SQL programs, as shown in Figure 7-1.

Figure 7-1 The Data Mining Sample PL/SQL Programs

Description of Figure 7-1 follows
Description of "Figure 7-1 The Data Mining Sample PL/SQL Programs"

Note:

The files listed in Figure 7-1 include all the Data Mining PL/SQL programs. However, one of the files, dmhpdemo.sql, is not a Data Mining program.

Use Windows Search to find the files named dm*.java in the same directory. Windows Search returns the Data Mining Java programs, as shown in Figure 7-2.

Figure 7-2 The Data Mining Sample Java Programs

Description of Figure 7-2 follows
Description of "Figure 7-2 The Data Mining Sample Java Programs"

Run the Sample Programs

You can run the sample programs as many times as you wish. The programs clean up the results of the previous run before executing the current run.

While the program is running, it displays the program code and the program output.

Run the PL/SQL Sample Programs

To run the PL/SQL programs:

  1. Start SQL*Plus and log in as the Data Mining user.

    Enter user-name: dmuser
        Enter password: password
    
  2. Run the program by specifying an at sign (@) followed by the fully-qualified path of the program. In the following example, replace ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME with the path of the Oracle home directory.

    SQL>@ ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\RDBMS\demo\dmnbdemo
    

    This example executes the program dmnbdemo.sql, which creates a Naive Bayes model.

Prepare to Run the Java Programs

Before you can run the Java programs, you must set up your Java environment and compile the programs.

  1. Check that the version of Java you are using is 1.5 or higher. You can execute the following in a command window to check the version of Java.

    >java -version
    
  2. Add ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\jdk\bin\ to your PATH variable before the paths of any other Java versions. ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME is the full path to the Oracle home directory.

  3. Add the following Data Mining JAR files to your Windows CLASSPATH:

    ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\RDBMS\jlib\jdm.jar
                ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\RDBMS\jlib\ojdm_api.jar
                ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\RDBMS\jlib\xdb.jar
                ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\jdbc\lib\ojdbc5.jar
                ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\oc4j\j2ee\home\lib\connector.jar
                ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\jlib\orai18n.jar   
                ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\jlib\orai18n-mapping.jar
                ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\lib\xmlparserv2.jar
    
  4. Compile the programs listed in Figure 7-2. To use the JAVAC executable, open a command window and go to \RDBMS\demo in Oracle home.

    >javac program_name.java
    

    For example:

    >javac dmnbdemo.java
    

    If JAVAC is not found, then check the value of the PATH variable.

Run the Java Programs

You can run the Java programs from the operating system prompt with a command like this:

>java program_name host_name:port_number:database_identifier user password

List the Sample Models

The mining models created by the sample programs can be viewed with a query like the one shown in Example 7-1.

The model names distinguish the models created by the Java programs from those created by the PL/SQL programs. The models created by the Java programs have "_JDM" appended to the name.

The PL/SQL Programs

The PL/SQL sample programs illustrate the use of the DBMS_DATA_MINING package for creating models and the DBMS_DATA_MINING_TRANSFORM package for performing transformations on the mining data.

The PL/SQL sample programs are presented by mining function in Table 7-2. For detailed descriptions of the sample programs, see the comments in the source code.

Table 7-2 Mining Functions of PL/SQL Sample Programs

Mining Function Description

Classification

The classification programs demonstrate various preprocessing techniques and perform the following steps:

  • Build a classification model using training data

  • Display model details and settings

  • Test the model by applying the model on the test data

  • Compute test metrics, such as confusion matrix, lift, and ROC

  • Apply the model on the scoring data

  • Present apply results

  • Present ranked apply results, influenced by a cost matrix

Clustering

dmkmdemo.sql (k-Means) and dmocdemo.sql (0-Cluster) build clustering models and present cluster details, such as rules, centroid, and histogram for each cluster as output. The models are scored, and the probabilities associated with each cluster are returned as output. Selected attributes of the input data are preprocessed.

NOTE: dmkmdemo.sql illustrates the new Automatic Data Preparation feature.

Feature extraction

dmnmdemo.sql builds a feature extraction model and presents model details as the output. The model is scored, and each feature ID is associated with a probability. Selected attributes of the input data are preprocessed (normalized).

Attribute importance

dmaidemo.sql builds an attribute importance model and presents a list of important attributes as the output of model details. Selected attributes of the input data are preprocessed (binned).


PL/SQL Text Mining Programs

Three sample programs illustrate the process of text mining using PL/SQL. One program illustrates the preprocessing that is required to transform the text for mining. The other two programs build models that use the transformed text.

The PL/SQL sample text mining programs are:

  • dmtxtfe.sql — Illustrates the process of term extraction that prepares text for mining

  • dmtxtnmf.sql — Creates a text mining model using the Non-Negative Matrix Factorization algorithm

  • dmtxtsvm.sql — Creates a text mining model using SVM classification

The Java Programs

The Java demos illustrate the features of the Oracle Data Mining Java API, which implements Oracle-specific extensions to the Java Data Mining (JDM) 1.0.1.1 standard. The sample Java programs demonstrate all the Data Mining algorithms as well as data transformation techniques, predictive analytics, export/import, and text mining.

Model import/export

dmexpimpdemo.java builds a Naive Bayes model, exports it to a dump file, then imports it from the dump file.


Java Text Mining Programs

Two Java programs illustrate the process of text mining. One builds a feature extraction model, the other builds a classification model.

The Java text mining programs both use the dmtxtnmfdemo.java interface to transform the text for mining. The programs are as follows:

  • dmtxtnmf.sql — Creates a text mining model using the Non-Negative Matrix Factorization algorithm

  • dmtxtsvmdemo.java — Creates a text mining model using SVM classification

The Sample Data

The dmsh.sql script creates views, tables, and indexes in the user's schema. The views define columns of customer data from tables in the SH schema. This data is used by the Data Mining sample programs. The tables reference the same columns in SH, but they include an extra COMMENTS column for text mining. The indexes are used to extract terms from the text in the COMMENTS column and build a nested table column.

Customer Data for Data Mining

Views in the data mining user's schema define columns of data from the CUSTOMERS, SALES, PRODUCTS, COUNTRIES, and SUPPLEMENTARY_DEMOGRAPHICS tables in the SH schema. You can list these views with the following SQL statements.

SQL>CONNECT dmuser
Enter password: password
SQL>SELECT view_name FROM user_views;

The views are listed in Table 7-5.

Table 7-5 Views Used by the Data Mining Sample Programs

View Name Description

MINING_DATA_APPLY_STR_V

             AND a.cust_id between 101501 and 103000 

The views are used to build, test, and score the sample models. Each view has a CUSTOMER_ID column, which is the case ID, and an AFFINITY_CARD column, which is the target used by the predictive models. Most of the views provide data for 1500 customers (1500 rows). The view used by the One-Class SVM model has data for 940 customers.

The columns of training data in the MINING_DATA_BUILD_V view are as follows.

Customer Data for Text Mining

The text mining demos use the same customer data from tables in SH, but they include either an extra text column or a collection type column. The collection type is a nested table of type DM_NESTED_NUMERICALS.

Tip:

The process of extracting terms from a text column into a nested table column is described in Oracle Data Mining Application Developer's Guide.

You can list these tables with the following SQL statements.

SQL>CONNECT dmuser
Enter password: password
SQL>SELECT table_name FROM user_tables WHERE table_name LIKE '%MINING%';

The text mining tables are listed in Table 7-6.
