Creating a Custom PAL Component

As an expert user, you can create a SAP HANA Predictive Analysis Library (PAL) component. This allows other users to add these custom PAL components to their analyses.

The PAL component is available in the Predict room by clicking the plus (+) sign in the list of components in the right-hand panel..

The custom PAL component is created using algorithms from the SAP HANA Predictive Analysis Library. The following PAL algorithms are currently supported in Expert Analytics:
Table 1: PAL Algorithms
Algorithm Corresponding Function
ABC Analysis ABC
Agglomerate Hierarchical Clustering HCAGGLOMERATE
ARIMA ARIMATRAIN
Binning BINNING
C4.5 Decision Tree CREATEDT
Exponential Regression EXPREGRESSION
FP-Growth FPGROWTH
K-Medoids KMEDOIDS
Naive Bayes NBCTRAIN
Scaling Range SCALINGRANGE

You can share one or more PAL custom components by using .spar files.

Note You have the option to save C4.5 Decision Tree and Exponential Regression components as a model.
Note For more information about the PAL algorithms and the uses of each algorithm, see SAP HANA Predictive Analysis Library (PAL) Reference at http://help.sap.com/hana_one
