Oracle Data Mining and Analytics

Today (Wednesday), May 2, 2007 at 12:00 PM EST, the Oracle Business Intelligence, Warehouse and Analytics (BIWA) Special Interest Group (SIG) will host another interesting free webcast:

Oracle's In-Database Statistics
Speaker: Charlie Berger

Session Abstract
Oracle Database 10g embeds a range of SQL-based basic statistical functions including: summary statistics, hypothesis testing, correlation coefficients, distribution fitting, ANOVA, and cross-tabulation statistics. This collection of useful in-database statistical functions offer an attractive alternative to SAS and other external statistical packages. Additionally, in-database statistical functions improve "information latency" and enable analytical processes to be performed without the traditional complicated "data extraction, analysis and import of results" process. This BIWA eSeminar will introduce Oracle's statistical functions using examples.

• Perform summary statistics (mean, median, quartiles, extreme values, etc.)
• Perform various hypothesis tests (t-test, F-test, Mann Whitney test, ANOVA, etc.)
• Perform correlations analysis, cross tabs, etc.
• Perform distribution tests
