The Netezza Time Series node analyzes time series data and can predict future
behavior from past events.
The Netezza Generalized Linear model expands the linear regression model so that
the dependent variable is related to the predictor variables by means of a specified
link function. Moreover, the model allows for the dependent variable to have a
non-normal distribution.

The EA Export node is a terminal node that reads entity data from a data source and
exports the data to a repository for the purpose of entity resolution.
TheE ntity Analytics(EA) source node reads the resolved entities from the repository
and passes this data to the stream for further processing, such as formatting into
a report.
TheStre aming EA node compares new cases against the entity data in the repository.
The SNA Group Analysis node builds a model of a social network based on input
data about the social groupings within the network. This technique identifies links
between the group members, and analyzes the interactions within the groups to
produce key performance indicators (KPIs). The KPIs can be used for purposes such
as churn prediction, anomaly detection, or group leader identification.
The SNA Diffusion Analysis node models the flow of information from a group
memberto their s ocial environment. A group member is assigned an initial we ighting,
which is propagated across the network as a gradually reducing figure. This process
continuesu ntil each member of the network has been assigned a weighting relative to
theo riginal group member,acc ording to the amount of information that has reached
them. The individual member scores are then derived directly from these weightings.
In this way,for example, a ser vicep rovider could identify customers that are at a
higher risk of churn according to their relationship with a recent churner.
