Minimum confidence and minimum support values for apriori algorithm

lmsasu — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:11:44 GMT

Hi all,

which are appropriate values for Minimum confidence and minimum support values for the Apriori algorithm? How could you tweak them? are they fixed values, or they change during the running of the algorithm? If you have used this algorithm before, which are the values you have set?

Thanks,
Lucian

Can be DataFlow component upgraded to newer version automaticaly in dtsx package?

danacatalin1211 — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:26:26 GMT

I have one custom dataflow component ... let's say COMP with version 1.1.0.0 used in many packages. (>100)

The component is now on version 1.2.0.0 but preserved the structure.

There is aniway to have those packaged configured in order to automaticaly be upgrated to use the new version of the component?

I tried (in this order):

- set the property "UpdateObjects" to true on package (while version 1.1.0.0 was available in GAC) and saved package.

- unistalled the version 1.1.0.0 from GAC.

- tried to reopen package with "Reload and Upgrade" option.

NO SUCCESS

i know that can be an brute way to do it (finaly dtsx files are only xml) meaning replace as text in xml ... but i try to find a solution not an stupid "workaround"

Many thanx for any suggestions!

Recently, April 25, 2007 , in a conference organized by Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences "Gheorghe Ionescu Sisesti" and Research-Development Institute for Plant Protection Bucharest was presented the results of a specific research about Podisus maculiventris Say, a generalist predator that originates from North America

The researchers used data mining techniques and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 data mining tool.

Here, I insert some printscreens from the poster.
