Inside the Classify Box

A Classify box in the main workspace looks like this:

The operations in the Classify box permit you to use an instantiated model to estimate values for a variable from a data set--the variable estimated
must be in the Instantiated Model, but it need not be in the data set.  A Classify Box requires input from a Data box containing data and input from an Instantiated Model in an IM box. (Remember that you can copy an estimated model in an Estimate box into an IM box simply by putting a flowchart arrow fromthe estimate box to a new IM box.)

Here are some things to note:

The Classifier box will show the graph of the IM used for classification..





The original data can be viewed by cliicking the "Test Data" tab.

Tabs above the graph give choices for how the Classifer will work. You can choose: When you hit the "Classify" button at the top of the graph window inside the Classify box, the Classifier does its work and gives you some viewing choices.




According to which tab you then click, you can see: If the target variable is included in the data, the tabs at the top of the Classifier window after the classfication program has run will also give you. You do not need to leave the Classify Box, or destroy its contents, to view the ROC curves or Confusion matrices for alternative values of the target variable. You do need to do so (or create a new Classify Box) if you want to classify a different target.
