Is RapidMiner able to solve my problem?
Hello,
even I'm interessted in Data Mining and I also know about RapidMiner since a long time I didn't manage to get really started ... So I'm an absolutely Newbie to this.
Actually there is situation in my work which I hope RapidMiner will be able to help us, but I'm not sure and I was not able to find an example for a similar situation. So I will try to ask the community.
We are going to monitor customers and their sales in a long term. Unfortunately we will now get a change of key id's, this means all of our customers will get new id's within the next months. We are not able to get a bridging file to match the old id of a customer with the new one, circumstances will not allow us to get or create such a thing out of the sources. The only thing we have available are items like age, gender and member of some groups - and of course the sales we are monitoring.
My idea is to use RapidMiner to create such a bridging list on our own ... it means getting the "fingerprint" of a customer out of the data we have available and find the matching pairs between old and new id.
What do you think, are there ways to do this with RapidMiner? And if there are ways - can you give me some links to examples or good search keywords to find similar things?
Regards
Wolf
