5 Predicting With R Models

Predictive models allow you to predict future behavior based on past behavior. After you build a model, you use it to score new data, that is, make predictions.

R allows you to build many kinds of models. When you predict new results (score data) using an R model, the data must be in an R frame. The ore.predict package, included with Oracle R Enterprise, allows you to use an R model to score data that is in an ore.frame, that is, database resident- data.

ore.predict() allows you to make predictions only using ore.frame objects; you cannot rebuild the model.

If you need to build models with data in a database table, consider building an Oracle Data Mining model using the OREdm package, described in In-Database Predictive Models in Oracle R Enterprise.

For more information, see the R help associated with ore.predict().

ore.predict for R Models

ore.predict() allows you to score (predict using) these R models:

Examples

This code builds a linear regression model irisModel (built using lm) on the iris data and then scores IRIS (a table that could be created by pushing iris to the database):

R> irisModel <- lm(Sepal.Length ~ ., data = iris)
R> IRIS <- ore.push(iris)
R> IRISpred <- ore.predict(irisModel, IRIS, se.fit = TRUE, interval = "prediction")
R> IRIS <- cbind(IRIS, IRISpred)
R> head(IRIS)
