lift chart causes different performance values
Contributor II
Good morning everybody,
I would like to evaluate my classification model by charts (e.g. lift chart) but I received different performance values like accuracy by adding a lift chart operator, although the performance measurement operator has to be independent of the visual performance operator.
Why is this? Or am I wrong with my process design?
Thank you very much for your help, Lara
(I attached a simple example of the process like I did with my data)

thank you for this hint in this ready to execute process. I found, that this was due to a bug in the lift pareto chart generator, that will add a small noise to the label instead of the attributes. This will be fixed with the next update.
I don't know if you are already noticed but you are generating the chart ten times and overwrite it 9 times. Might be, you should replace the XValidation with the XVPrediction operator and apply the chart generator after this.
Greetings,
Sebastian
thank you very much for your help. I will await eagerly the next update :-)
Yes, I have noticed that the lift chart would be overwritten, but until now I did not have a solution for this, so thank you for the hint.
