A process and system for integrating information stored in at least two disparate
databases. The stored information includes consumer transactional information.
According to the process and system, at least one qualitative variable which is
common to each database is identified, and then transformed into one or more quantitative
variables. The consumer transactional information in each database is then converted
into converted information in terms of the quantitative variables. Thereafter,
an integrated database is formed for predicting consumer behavior by combining
the converted information from the disparate databases.
