ID3 - Novice question

askuralaskural Member Posts: 5 Contributor II
edited November 2018 in Help
Hello,
I am very new to rapid miner and have just finished reading the RM tutorial (PDF).
I have a homework where an ID3 algortithm is to be applied to set of data made out of yeses and nos in an excel sheet.
I apply the ID3 algorithm and get a decision tree. It is Ok till here. But How do I get RapMin to give me coulmn of his own results preferably in an excel sheet.
I tried this: I named a coulumn as rapid and assigned 'prediction' attribute and used write excel operator to save the data in an xls format. But I just got the same  sheet that I originally imported.
Thank you in advance.

    Hello ASKurai,

    the decision tree model is just the set of rules. Like if A < 2 and B>3 then assign X.
    What you want is to apply the rules on given data. Therefore you need the apply operator.

    To assure that you never apply the model on the data you trained on (which would result in over fitting) you usually use a Cross Validation (X-Validation). If you need a predicted data set you can use X-Predicition. Below is an example process doing this.

    Hello,
    I think I wrongly iterated my question. The problem is not that ID3 doesn't run. It runs but where do I get the gain values etc. and the column of results that ID3 algoritm produces itself. I don't want a tree based on my results column which ID3 forces to be labeled as 'label'. I am seeking a column of results of yeses and nos of the ID3 algorithm and the values like the gain values.
    Regards,
    ASKural :'(

    Hi,

    i am kind of confused. The process i attached will produce a new coloum called prediction(labelname) and confidence values. This is then either "yes" or "no" if this is your label.

    Label = coloumn with the truth
    Prediction = coloumn with the prediction of your tree
    confidence = "likelihood" for each class

    Cheers,
    Martin

    Hello,
    I copied and pasted the code as is on the main process area and this is what I got.
    What am doing wrong possibly?
    Regards,
    ASKural
    ???

    X-Prediction.example set (example set) Meta data: - expects: ExampleSet, expects: ExampleSet 2 error(s): Mandatory input missing at port X-Prediction.example set. Mandatory input missing at port X-Prediction.example set.

    Write Excel.input (input) Meta data: - expects: ExampleSet 1 error(s): Mandatory input missing at port Write Excel.input.

    Hi,

    your process uses a relative path in the repository. Thus you need to save it accordingly or change the path.

    Hello,

    It is like this at the moment and gives the following errors:

    X-Prediction.example set (example set) Meta data: - expects: ExampleSet, expects: ExampleSet

    Write Excel.input (input) Meta data: - expects: ExampleSet
