New Features and Changes
This release delivers enhancements in Tree Aware Optimization (TAO), reporting and general performance improvements.
- Tree Aware Optimization (TAO) enhancements:
- Ability to use same decision key multiple times in tree template
- When updating tree template, allow for changing base tree file while keeping consistency constraint setup
- For a base tree template, allow branching base tree leaf nodes that are not at the deepest (i.e. allow expanding of non-terminal leaves into subtrees)
- Performance improvements of segment handling
- Report enhancements:
- Increased width and height of Efficient Frontier (EF) screen
- In Data Model view, enabled sorting on "Report Order" column
- In Swap Set Report, exported table now has rows and columns in same order to GUI
- General performance improvements (including segment handling across all scenarios and eligibility constraint segment validation)
- In JOBS tab, when clicking on executed scenario from JOBS tab, the scenario is opened automatically together with its project and shown in Summary Report view
- Validation Scenario now executes over the post-data-processing records, which is consistent with other scenario types
- In Swap Set report for an Exploratory Scenario, a separate table is now displayed for each respective sub-scenario
Additionally, the Action Effect Modeling 2.4 releaseincludes the following.
New Features and Changes
- In Data Load section, added message on the last processing option and execution time for Empty values treatment
- In Base Model, Holdout target is now capped according to the target bounds
- WoE formula selection is exported in Model Reports as "Standard Deviation", "Deviation from Mean", or "Binary"
- Added message alerting user if data load has failed
- Added option to replace empty values with defaults, and ignore records with any remaining empty values
- Summary statistics tables are computed separately for Development and Holdout samples, both for initial and processed data
- In run log for Read Data, we report the size and the (up to 20) indices of the empty records found
- In run log for Apply Variable Use and Process Empty, we also report the size and the (up to 20) indices of the ignored records
- Special values are counted in initial summary statistics and removed from processed statistics
- For each binning table, it is now possible to Sort bins correctly by the breakpoint
- Fixed computation of Action Effect training error metric: removed unnecessary division by sample weight and applied square root to report RMSE. For consistency, Base Model error and New Dataset errors are also reported as RMSE.
