Data Mining algorithms in SQL Server 2005

This is the start of a 6-part article on understanding the theory and practicals of SQL Server 2005. In the next few weeks, I will be covering

• Association Rules
• Clustering
• Decision Trees
• Naïve Bayes
• Neural Network
• Sequence Clustering
• Time Series

I always believe that in order to use a tool, you must get the basics right. Else, if you blindly use the tool, you cannot blame the underlying algorithms for not giving you what you need.
