SQLRF51637Purpose

This function is for use with classification models created by the DBMS_DATA_MINING package or with Oracle Data Miner. It returns a measure of cost for a given prediction as an Oracle NUMBER.

If you specify the optional class parameter, then the function returns the cost for the specified class. If you omit the class parameter, then the function returns the cost associated with the best prediction. You can use this form in conjunction with the PREDICTION function to obtain the best pair of prediction value and cost.

The COST clause is relevant for all classification models.

The mining_attribute_clause behaves as described for the PREDICTION function. Refer to mining_attribute_clause.

SQLRF51638Example

The following example finds the ten customers living in Italy who are least expensive to convince to use an affinity card.

This example and the prerequisite data mining operations can be found in the demo file $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/dmdtdemo.sql. General information on data mining demo files is available in Oracle Data Mining Administrator's Guide. The example is presented here to illustrate the syntactic use of the function.

WITH
cust_italy AS (
SELECT cust_id
  FROM mining_data_apply_v
 WHERE country_name = 'Italy'
ORDER BY PREDICTION_COST(DT_SH_Clas_sample, 1 COST MODEL USING *) ASC, 1
)
SELECT cust_id
  FROM cust_italy
 WHERE rownum < 11;
