Abstract
Efficient SQL based multi-attribute clustering of data attributes may be used to identify the most relevant combination of data attributes to an outcome. A global outcome value may be calculated to represent an average of the outcome. A subset outcome value for each subset of data attributes of a plurality of attributes may be calculated to represent average of the outcome for the subset. For each subset of data attributes, a number of members associated with the subset may be compared to a threshold, and the subsets with less members than the threshold may be removed. The subset outcome value for each subset of data attributes may be compared to the global outcome value, and a report may be generated that identifies each subset for which the corresponding subset outcome value is greater than or less than the global outcome value.
