This chapter shows how to set up a Siebel Data Mining modeling environment with Siebel Analytics as the underlying data source.

Deploying Real-Time Scoring with Siebel Data Mining

This chapter explains how to configure Siebel Analytics and Siebel operational applications for deploying predictive models in real-time scoring scenarios. Real-time scoring is the process of scoring a single customer (or other entities like Account and Household) on demand in an operational application (such as Siebel Call Center).

Setting Up Batch Scoring with Siebel Data Mining

This chapter explains how to configure and use Siebel Answers for deploying predictive models in batch scoring scenarios. Batch scoring is the process of scoring a group of customers (or other entities like Account and Household) in a single batch run, and using those scores for further analysis with Siebel Analytics and driving segmentation with Siebel Marketing.

NOTE:  Chapters 4 through 6 use the example of a wireless service provider managing customer churn with the help of predictive analytics. Using predictive analytics to pursue business objectives other than churn management follows a very similar setup and configuration process.
