Description

Teradata Warehouse Miner provides an array of data profiling and mining functions ranging from data exploration and transformation to analytic model development and deployment that are performed directly in the Teradata Database. While many data mining solutions require analysts to extract data samples to build and run analytic models, Teradata Warehouse Miner allows you to analyze detailed data without moving the detailed data out of the data warehouse, thus streamlining the data mining process. Teradata Warehouse Miner, and its derivative products Teradata Analytic Data Set (ADS) Generator and Teradata Profiler, can provide both a framework for the data mining process and a significant savings of time and resources in implementing the process.

The Release Definition (.pdf, 327 KB) has a list of all RFC’s, defects, restrictions and dependencies.
