"Decision Rules by Classes" control

All Rules, created as a result of a Query, or loaded from file, are displayed in the "Decision Rules by Classes" control. The control allows to navigate between Classes and Rules, viewing Rules details. In case if there are no Decision Rules for a Class, the Class will be disabled.

Each Decision Rule is marked with a number (the number is not a part of a Rule), for example:

  • "Rule # 1"

The details of the selected Rule are displayed in the "Rule Details" control:

  1. Rule number
  2. Number of cases (records) that are described by a Rule, for example:
  • "rule met in X cases"
  1. Rule length:
  •  "number of elements in the Rule: X"

And the Rule itself:

Note: if the element in the Rule is of Integer or Real type, it is followed with it's average value:

  • "(average X)"

In case if Rules are edited, all changes are displayed on the proram page.
