Abstract
A GUI is used to reduce the large task of creating data mining objects into a structured series of smaller steps. Generic headings for a sequence of GUI panels used in developing data mining objects are: Introduction (Welcome) panel; Selection of technique and settings name panel; Selection of a data source (when appropriate); Setting of general parameters (one or more panels); Output/results created and named for executable objects particular to the technique selected (depends on object selected); Naming the settings object and Finish page (completed). Each GUI panel intelligently leads the user through a series of low-level decisions. Each succeeding panel is chosen by the data input during the present panel. At completion, the user may review the series of GUI panels and selections and entries made to modify the resulting mining object. Once created, the objects are graphically ordered to create a sequence object which is then named and saved, thus preserving the sequence for future use.
