Data Mining
Identify Patterns in Transaction and Click-Stream Data
Exclusive Ore announced XAffinity 3.0, software that identifies affinities or patterns in transaction and click-stream data. XAffinity is one of the first database-enabled data-mining products. You can use SQL to analyze data and place the mining results back into the database so that analysts can browse the rules with standard reporting and OLAP tools. For sequence analysis, XAffinity supports multiple time-period dependencies. The parameterized rule text lets you control text rule formats.
The software integrates with SQL Server 2000, 7.0, and 6.5; Oracle; and Microsoft Access applications. A single end-user license for XAffinity 3.0 is $7200. Contact Exclusive Ore at 215-643-3110 or http://www.exclusiveore.com.
