a) Prepare your data

Ensure that your data is available in a Data Source which can be accessed via ODBC (Open Database Connectivity). Knowledge Builder Mined Tree objects can work on any available table in such data. However, you may need to manipulate the data to produce a target table that is the object of your analysis project using a data preparation tool. You may also want to produce further tables of data sets that can be used for populating trees with records that are 'unseen' (i.e. not previously used) in the analysis process. Such further data sets may be use in testing, validating and monitoring your results.
