Datamining concepts

What does cluster represent? Does anyone know any good resources for datamining

with ssas 2k5? I tried BOL but, I found out they don't seem to help that much Except to make you understand what each tab does.. any suggestions?

thanks,

Rok

Here baseline info about the Cluster Algorithm in SQL Server 2005:

(The Microsoft Clustering algorithm is a segmentation algorithm provided by Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS). The algorithm uses iterative techniques to group cases in a dataset into clusters that contain similar characteristics. These groupings are useful for exploring data, identifying anomalies in the data, and creating predictions.)

The first link below scroll to the end you will see all the SQL Server 2005 datamining Algorithms, the second is where you will find tutorials and the last link is the math used to create most prediction related calculations. Hope this helps.
