Example

The following example predicts the top five most likely UrlCategory items, based on the history in the mining model.

SELECT FLATTENED TopCount
   (Predict
      (SiteAffiliation.WebClick, INCLUDE_STATISTICS)

   (SELECT 'url-2' AS UrlCategory) AS WebClick) AS input
   ON SiteAffiliation.WebClick.UrlCategory = input.WebClick.UrlCategory
