Initial Query Settings

Initial Query Settins help avoid using fields that contain too many unique values. Using such fields will make queries processing very long, and data mining results might be overfitted.

• "Maximum number of classes" - fields with a larger number of unique values won't be available for selction as examined field.

• "Maximum number of unique values in fields" - use this feature to protect data mining process from using fields with non-essential data.

Rules Query Settings

• "Element belongs to class(%)" - input the probability for Decision Rules.
• "Minimum number of cases for a Rule" - the rules, describing less than minimum  number of cases, will be ignored by the program.
• "rational fields minimum value" - determines minimum rational values that Estard Data Miner will use for the analysis.
• "Create full Rules" control - marking this control will make Estard Data Miner to find all Decision Rules, without cutting off unnecessary elements.
• "Create minimized Rules" control - marking the control will allow to create minimized Rules, enougth for Classes analysis. The overall number of Rules might be less than with "Create full Rules" option marked.
• "Maximum Rules number for a Class" - this control allows to limit the number of created Rules. For example, if setting controls value to 10, the program will create no more than 10 Rules for each Class.

Decision Tree Query Settings

• "Build Automatically" control- mark it if you want the program to decide how to create the Decision Tree.
• "Build Tree for Each Field" control - mark it if you want to recieve a Decision Tree for each Field, marked in the "Selection of Fields" control. Time, necessary to obtain Decision Trees is proportional to number of Fields used in analysis processing.
• "Build starting with Field" control - mark it to create a concrete Decision Tree, strarting with the Field selected in the list below the control.
• "Build a Single Tree"  - in case if some Classes were not defined after building the first Tree, Estard Data Miner will try to build a new Tree. Marking this control will make Estard Data Miner to create a single Decision Tree.
• "Stop After defining All Classes" control - will stop Decision Trees creation in case if all Classes were defined.

Decision Tree Output Settings:

• "Clear previous Trees before adding new ones" option - clears up the displayed Decision Trees before adding new Decision Trees.
• "Add new Decision Trees to previously created"  - if some Decision Trees are displayed in the control on the "Decision Tree Output" page, they won't be removed when creating a new Tree.

Exceptions Settings

"Search for exceptions" control - allows to turn on and off exceptions searching.

"Minimum number of Class cases" control - Classes, met in less number of cases than set in this control, will not be searched for exceptions.

"Minimum exception difference(%)" control - allows to set the program sensitivity to exceptions.
