Viewing Data Mining Models
The easiest way to view the contents of a trained data mining model is to use Data Mining Model Browser and Dependency Network Browser. These visualization tools display the complex contents of a data mining model, such as a decision tree, in an understandable graphical interface. The browsers enable you to visualize the data mining model content.
Visualization, the process of displaying complex data in a visual format that can be easily comprehended, can be difficult when it comes to data mining. Data Mining Model Browser simplifies the visualization of data mining model content, while Dependency Network Browser makes visualization of the complex relationships within a decision tree data mining model readily understandable.
By browsing the data mining model content, you can detect spurious relationships, which can suggest overfitting or other mining model problems, allowing you to modify and fully process the data mining model later using one of the mining model editors.
