Functions<br />

When you use <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Mining</strong> <strong>Extensions</strong> (<strong>DMX</strong>) to query objects in Microsoft SQL<br />

Server Analysis Services, you can use functions to return more information than just the<br />

values in the columns in the data mining model or input dataset. For example, you can<br />

use <strong>DMX</strong> queries to return not only the prediction value of a column, but also the<br />

probability that the prediction is correct. You can use not only <strong>DMX</strong> functions, but also<br />

functions from Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), Microsoft Excel, and stored<br />

procedures.<br />
