A proposal of integrating data mining and on-line analytical processing in data warehouse
Z. Liu, Minyi Guo · 2002
As an analysis tool either of on-line analytical processing (OLAP) or data mining has its own strong points and weaknesses. It is an effective way to enhance the power and flexibility of data mining in data warehouses and large databases by integrating data mining with OLAP to offset their weaknesses. In the paper, a proposal of integrating data mining and OLAP is put forward. The mechanism of the on-line analytical data mining in data warehouses is described. Aspects which are necessary for developing a successful on-line analytical data mining system is also discussed.
