Re: JESS: Storing rules in an excel sheet

Hello Wolfgang, it is kind of related to your scenario, but our data mining does return some rules as well. Here are some examples we "mine": Linear regression: - 0.216 * B_SZ_1 + 0.685 * L_SZ_1 + 0.392 * R_SZ_2 + 0.867 polynomial regression: 0.000 * BETA_SZ ^ 4.000 + 0.035 * B_SZ_1 ^ 1.000 -

Re: JESS: Storing rules in an excel sheet

Hi Florian, Since my background is in mechanical engineering, I'm curious now, too! :-) As always, an example of what you're doing always helps us to help you better. Would you show us some sample data and rule expressions please? Maybe also indicate what actions you intend the rules to perform.

Re: JESS: Storing rules in an excel sheet

I'm intrigued. Would this be, in any way, related to this scenario: We have observations of a, b from C = set of complex numbers, and the resulting conic section (circle, ellipse,...): how to derive the type of the latter from the properties of the former? Then, you aren't storing rules; you would

Re: JESS: Storing rules in an excel sheet

Hi Florian, It appears that RapidMiner has a Java API. If your intention is to ultimately use Jess to reason over a rulebases of sheet-metal forming rules, then those rules will have to be in Jess code. In theory, you could use RapidMiner's Java AP

Re: JESS: Storing rules in an excel sheet

Thank you, let me try to explain what we are planning to do and why our first thought was using an excel sheet. We are doing research on sheet metal forming and my tutor is doing some simulation and using rapidminer to create rules explaining the forming. These rules are formulas expressing the

RE: JESS: Storing rules in an excel sheet

Jess rules are textual, like program code. Typically what you're going to store in a spreadsheet is a decision table, which some simple rule engines will execute directly. That isn't what Jess does. You could write a Jess program to *implement* a decision table runner, or you could try to store

JESS: Storing rules in an excel sheet

Hi Folks, first of all I want to introduce myself. My name is Florian. I am from Germany. I am 22 years old and I am writing my bachelor thesis about expert systems. My tutor wants me to store my rule database in excel because he wants to automatically generate it using a data mining software.
