Synopsis

Analyzes numerical fields for their ability to predict another discrete field.

af | analyzefields classfield=field

Arguments

classfield
Datatype: <field>
Description: For best results, classfield should have 2 distinct values, although multi-class analysis is possible.


Description

Using field as a discrete random variable, analyze all *numerical* fields to determine the ability for each of those fields to predict the value of the classfield. For best results, classfield should have 2 distinct values, although multi-class analysis is possible.

Examples

Example 1: Analyze the numerical fields to predict the value of "is_activated".
