Exclude Fields from a New Model
During model training, you might decide that certain data fields (or features) in the dataset are not useful to include. For example, perhaps geographic information has no influence on the goal variable and is not necessary to include in the new model. In Analytics Builder, you can opt to exclude those fields from the dataset when you create the new model. In contrast to filtering, excluding fields does not filter out any rows from your data. It removes the same fields of information from every row in the dataset.
To exclude fields:
1. Navigate to the Exclude Fields from Model field as follows:
◦ From the top of the Models list page, click New.
The New Predictive Model dialog box opens.
2. On the right side of the dialog box, above the Exclude Fields from Model field, click the Exclude Fields button.
The Fields To Be Excluded From Job dialog box opens.
3. In the Available Fields list on the left, select a field to be excluded and click the right arrow button in the middle.
The selected field is moved into the Fields to Exclude list on the right.
4. Repeat the field selection step until all of the fields you want to exclude are displayed in Fields to Exclude list on the right.
5. If you change your mind about a field you selected for exclusion, select it in the Fields to Exclude list and click left arrow to move it out of the exclusion list.
6. When the exclusion list is complete, click Save to save the list of excluded fields and exit the dialog box.
