A hospital system uses the Text Analytics node to mine physician notes and discharge summaries. Combined with patient vitals (from an Oracle database), they build a logistic regression model that flags patients with a high risk of 30-day readmission. The model runs nightly inside the Oracle database using in-database mining, generating a report for case managers by 6 AM.
Cognos TM1 Support: IBM Cognos TM1 version 11.1.7 or later is now required for Modeler to successfully import and export TM1 data.
