Purpose

This function is for use with feature extraction models that have been created using the DBMS_DATA_MINING package or with the Oracle Data Mining Java API. It returns a varray of objects containing all possible features. Each object in the varray is a pair of scalar values containing the feature ID and the feature value. The object fields are named FEATURE­_ID and VALUE, and both are Oracle NUMBER.

The optional topN argument is a positive integer that restricts the set of features to those that have one of the top N values. If there is a tie at the Nth value, then the database still returns only N values. If you omit this argument, then the function returns all features.

The optional cutoff argument restricts the returned features to only those that have a feature value greater than or equal to the specified cutoff. To filter only by cutoff, specify NULL for topN and the desired cutoff for cutoff.

The mining_attribute_clause behaves as described for the PREDICTION function. Refer to mining_attribute_clause.

Examples

The following example lists the top features corresponding to a given customer record (based on match quality), and determines the top attributes for each feature (based on coefficient > 0.25).

This example and the prerequisite data mining operations, including the creation of the model, views, and type, can be found in the demo file $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/dmnmdemo.sql. General information on data mining demo files is available in Oracle Data Mining Administrator's Guide. The example is presented here to illustrate the syntactic use of the function.
