Example
You might build a model that identifies the characteristics of customers who frequently buy a certain product.
To obtain a list of customers who shop at a certain store and are likely to buy a related product, you might apply the model to the customer data for that store.
In this case, the store customer data is the scoring data.
Functions
Supervised
Scoring is the purpose of classification and regression, the principal supervised mining techniques. Most supervised learning can be applied to a population of interest.
Oracle Data Mining does not support the scoring operation for attribute importance.
Unsupervised
Unsupervised Models are built on a population of interest to obtain information about that population; they cannot be applied to separate data.
Although unsupervised data mining does not specify a target, most unsupervised learning can be applied to a population of interest.
