BusinessObjects Set Analysis User Guide 39 4 Set analytics Profiler Profiler The Profiler analytic, available in Set Analysis, analyzes the individual level information at the membership and metric levels. Use Individual Profiler to create sets to profile your customers in ways that answer your business questions. Individual customers can belong to more than one set, or interest group. For example, individual customers can belong to a specific age group, geographical location, or marital status. Customers can be classified, analyzed and treated in different ways using set techniques. You can create broad or specific sets to categorize your customers in ways that are relevant to your business. Configuring the Profiler analytic Profiler analyzes the individual level information at the membership and metric levels.

You use this analytic to identify the set populations with significant amounts of members on which you can create analysis scenarios. Visual data counts help you with set sampling. You can perform the following functions using visual data counts: · · · Navigate through the database using the predefined object trees to locate the categories of data required to fill the current set. Create your own object trees for data navigation. View the: · contents of the database categories in the detail windows. These detail windows provide information about the content of the categories and how they relate to other categories. [. . . ] These values can be used to group data together and are often related to other values in other columns in a hierarchical way. A table can have many inherent hierarchies that indicate how these columns are related. Defining these hierarchies as object trees is a useful method of providing access to the table items to the Set Analyzer user who is not familiar with the structure of the data. In Set Analyzer, the object trees do not have to relate to a logical hierarchy, but can be constructed from any combination of suitable objects in the set repository. What is retention? In the analysis of sets, retention is the number of stayers as a percentage of the members at the end of the prior period.
