Neural network module for data mining

A computer program product for performing a neural network based data mining in an electronic data processing system, comprising:

• a computer readable medium;
• computer program instructions, recorded on the computer readable medium, executable by a processor, for implementing a software module comprising:
• a model setup block operable to receive client input including information specifying a setup of a neural network data mining model, generate the model setup, generate parameters for the model setup based on the received information;
• a modeling algorithms block operable to select and initialize a neural network modeling algorithm based on the generated model setup;
• a model building block operable to receive training data and build a neural network model using the training data and the selected neural network modeling algorithm;
• and
• a model scoring block operable to receive scoring data and generate predictions and/or recommendations using the scoring data and the neural network model.
