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.
