Manual Input

To specify inputs manually, deselect Determine inputs automatically (using heuristics). You can make the following changes:

• To ignore an attribute: If you do not want to use an attribute as input, go to the Input column and click the output icon . Select the ignore icon and click OK. The attribute will not be used. It will be ignored.
  Similarly, to use an attribute that you have ignored, click in the Input column and select . The attribute is used in model build.

• To change mining type of an attribute: Go to the Mining Type column and select an option from the drop-down list:

  • Numerical

  • Categorical

  Text mining types are Text and Text Custom. Select Text Custom to create a column- level text specification.

• To manually prepare data: By default, Automatic Data Preparation (ADP) is performed on all attributes. If you do not want Automatic Data Preparation performed for an attribute, then deselect the corresponding check box for that attribute in the Auto Prep column. If you turn off Auto Prep, then you are responsible for data preparation for that attribute.

  
  

  Note: If the mining type of an attribute is Text or Text Custom, then you cannot deselect ADP.
