Use this method to predict the probabilities that a particular user, the current case, belongs to each segment of a population.
Definition
Sub PredictAllSegments(dCurrentCase As Object,pvsavSegmentNames As Variant,pvsavProbabilities As Variant)
Parameters
dCurrentCase
A Dictionary object that contains the current case.
pvsavSegmentNames
A Variant used to return a SafeArray containing the segment names.
pvsavProbabilities
A Variant used to return a SafeArray containing the membership probabilities associated with the segment names.
Return Values
None.
Error Values
This method sets the Number property of the global Err object to S_OK (&H00000000) to indicate success and to standard COM error values to indicate failure. For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors. Additional information may be available using the global Err object. In particular, the Description property may contain a text description of the error.
Remarks
The Microsoft Research Cluster Engine Data Modeler groups similar users into segments. Similar segments are further grouped into higher order collections of segments, creating a hierarchy from which to analyze trends and discover hidden correlations. The returned probability associated with each segment name indicates the probability that the current user belongs to that segment.
Load the segment model using the LoadModelFromDB or LoadModelFromFile methods prior to using this method.
