HANA Auto Classification

Properties that can be configured for the HANA Automated (Auto) Classification algorithm.

Syntax The HANA Automated Classification algorithm is used for binary/categorical classification. This algorithm detects the model type and algorithm used for best fit based on the target variable you select. It also decides whether the input should be continuous or categorical and determines the most appropriate binning for variables. As a result, you can reduce the data preparation and model testing activities that you perform when building a predictive model. In addition, it also creates Train and Validate datasets for model evaluation.

The HANA Auto Classification algorithm is only available in online mode (connected to SAP HANA). There is a similar Auto Classification algorithm available in offline mode.

For more information about the functions used in online Automated algorithms, see the SAP Automated Predictive Library Reference Guide (APL) at http://help.sap.com/pa
