Network Browser Pane (Dependency Network Browser)

Use the network browser pane to view the contents of a data mining model. In this pane, you can use toolbar tools to adjust the view to see more of the model or narrow the focus to see detail about specific areas.

When you first open a data mining model in the browser, attributes are positioned for you. However, you can move attributes by dragging them to new locations.

When you select an attribute, the color of its container changes to reflect selection state. In addition, the color scheme of surrounding nodes changes to reflect the direction of predictability. For example, for each attribute you select, the colors of the surrounding nodes indicate whether they predict the selected attribute, are predicted by the selected attribute, or both. Selecting an attribute also displays the legend pane, which provides a key to the color scheme associated with directions of predictability.

In the current view, you can reposition the slider bar to indicate the strength of dependency. As you move the slider up, the browser adds arrows corresponding to weaker dependencies.

You can search for specific attributes by name or add missing attributes to the network browser pane. If the model is very large, the initial presentation may omit attributes that are weakly related. To add these attributes to the network browser pane, click Find on the toolbar to select the node of interest. Adding an attribute also adds any additional nodes that are connected to it.
