Data Mining and Text Mining
From raw data to smarter business decisions
Every organization accumulates huge volumes of data from a variety of sources on a daily basis. Data mining is an iterative process of creating predictive and descriptive models, by uncovering previously unknown trends and patterns in vast amounts of data from across the enterprise, in order to support decision making. Text mining applies the same analysis techniques to text-based documents. The knowledge gleaned from data and text mining can be used to fuel strategic decision making.
“SAS provides a solid and efficient linkage between our quantitative expertise and our clinical expertise. It allows us to take the data and to quickly and efficiently produce models that can be implemented to allow our clinicians to be with the right person at the right time.”
