Predictive Analysis Library
The Predictive Analysis Library (PAL) defines functions that can be called from within SQLscript procedures to perform analytic algorithms. It includes the following classic and universal predictive analysis algorithms in nine data mining categories:
Clustering
Association
Statistics
Classification
Time series
Social network analysis
Regression
Preprocessing
Miscellaneous
The algorithms in PAL were carefully selected as most of these algorithms are generally available in other database products. Also, these are frequently used and needed for SAP HANA applications.
The following are the prerequisites for using PAL:
Install the latest SAP HANA SPS
Install the AFL, which includes the PAL
Enable the script server in the HANA instance. SAP note 1,650,957 describes its steps.
The revision of the AFL must match the revision of SAP HANA.
