Abstract

A system and associated method for data mining prediction is presented according to which the user selects a database table by means of a graphical user interface. Some records in the table are complete, while other records are incomplete. A subset of records of the database table is determined wherein each record of the subset contains a data value in the column selected for prediction. This subset of records is used to generate a model by means of a data mining algorithm, such as linear regression, radial basis function, decision tree or neural network methods. The resulting model is then utilized to predict the empty data fields in the column. After completing the prediction, the predicted values are entered into the column for display to the user.
