Generate Data y=f(x)

Jens_Fleckenste

Hi All,

 

I'm a beginner and I just simply wants to gerenate a small table with two atrributes, x and y.

x = 1,2,3,4,5

y = x^2 = 1,2, 4,9,16,25

 

I tried to do that with the generate Data processors, but I couldn't manage it.

 

Can someone help me? Thank you in advance.

 

Regards

Hi Jens,

 

it's a macro of the process defined in the context. Macros are process variables. Have a look at this article for more details: http://community.rapidminer.com/t5/RapidMiner-Studio-Knowledge-Base/How-to-Use-Macros/ta-p/32966

 

Best,

Martin

Hallo Jens,

 

Just check the attached process. This is how i created a sqrt function for my latest gbt kb article.

Hi Martin,

 

ok thank you, I understand.

 

I just wonder, where you have defined the value 1000 behind the variable %{points}. (Generates 1000 Rows).

 Could you please explain that?

 

Regards

Jens

ah ok,

I was expectinig a Set macro Process.

 

I Didn't know the context panel.

 

Thanks a lot

Jens
