Teradata Warehouse Miner

Teradata Warehouse Miner (TWM) is a software application provided by Teradata for achieving data mining inside RDBMS databases without the need for migrating the data from the data warehouse.^[1] TWM is bundled with multiple statistical and machine learning algorithms for analyzing data and creating data mining models. The whole data mining process, e.g. CRISP-DM process, is supported using TWM which includes: descriptive statists and analysis, analytic data set creation, data mining model creation and data mining model scoring.^[2] This facilitates Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) which provides business intelligence for organisations.

Supported data analysis & data mining algorithms

Teradata Warehouse Miner supports running on RDBMS databases using ODBC connections.^[3] It supports data mining and statistical analysis commonly found in statistical applications.^[4]
