Data Analysis

Data Analysis

• Enterprise• SQL Server Analysis Services

• Multimensional

• Tabular

• Self-Service• Power Pivot

Data Analysis

• Multidimensional -> MDX

• Strictly tied to Kimball concepts: Fact, Measures, Dimensions

• Mature Product

• Provide optimum performance on most of the cases

• Medium / High Complexity • Even for simple situations

Analysis Services Multidimensional

Data Analysis

• Tabular / Power Pivot -> DAX

• Based on the idea of Tables and Relationships

• Based on the concept of “Contexts”• Row & Filter Context

• In-Memory Engine• Column Store• Visually very similar to Excel

• Simple for simple things. Can become very complex for medium/complex things.

Power Pivot & Analysis Services Tabular

Data Analysis

• Data Mining features included in the Multidimensional Engine

• Classification algorithms • predict one or more discrete variables, based on the other attributes in the dataset.

• Regression algorithms • predict one or more continuous variables, such as profit or loss, based on other attributes in the

dataset.

• Segmentation algorithms • divide data into groups, or clusters, of items that have similar properties.

• Association algorithms • find correlations between different attributes in a dataset.

• Sequence analysis • algorithms summarize frequent sequences or episodes in data, such as a Web path flow
