Projects and Reports
Introduction to Projects
A project is a group of files related to a data mining task. Projects include data streams, graphs,
generated models, reports, and anything else that you have created in IBM® SPSS® Modeler. At
first glance, it may seem that SPSS Modeler projects are simply a way to organize output, but they
are actually capable of much more. Using projects, you can:
Anno tate each object in the project file.
Use the CRISP-DM methodology to guide your data mining efforts. Projects also contain
a CRISP-DM He
lp system that provides details and real-world examples on data mining
with CRI SP-DM.
Add non-S PSS Modeler objects to the project, such as a PowerPoint slide show use d to present
your data mining goals or white papers on the algorithms that you pla n to use.
Produc e both comprehensive and simple update reports based on your annotations. These
reports can be genera ted in HTML for easy publishing on your organization’s intranet.
Note: If the project pane is no t visible in the SPSS Modeler window, click Project on the View
menu.
Objects that you add to a project can be viewe d in two ways: Classes view and CRISP-DM view.
Anything t
hat you add to a project is added to both views, and you can toggle between views to
create the organization that works best.
