1. A method for dynamically building predictive models within a computer-implemented business analysis environment, comprising:
- (a) generating a definition for a derived measure;
(b) invoking a model-building mechanism in a data mining system based on the generated definition, wherein the model-building mechanism builds a predictive model that generates an output for the derived measure.

Abstract
A Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system that dynamically builds predictive models. The system is used by business users who are unfamiliar with the art of data mining. A model-building mechanism in a data mining subsystem is presented with a training segment consisting of records with appropriate input attributes and an output attribute to be predicted; the model-building mechanism builds a model in the form of a business measure that can subsequently be applied to make predictions against other like segments.
