A Classification model is built from historical data for which the classifications are known. To build (train) a Classification model, a classification algorithm finds relationships between the values of the predictors and the values of the target. Different classification algorithms use different techniques for finding relationships. These relationships are summarized in a model. The model can then be applied to a different data set in which the class assignments are unknown.
Algorithm settings control model build. Settings depend on the algorithm.
Use a Build Node to build one or more Classification models.
Classification models are tested by default.
