Dependency Network Browser

Use this tool to view the dependencies or relationships among objects in a data mining model.

Dependency Network Browser is displayed when, in the Analysis Manager tree pane, you right-click a data mining model and then click Browse Dependency Network.

In Dependency Network Browser, a data mining model is expressed as a network of attributes. Within the model, you can identify data dependencies and predictability among the related attributes. Dependency is indicated by arrows. The direction of predictability is indicated by arrowheads and by the color-coding of the nodes. For more information about why you should use this browser, see Viewing with Dependency Network Browser.

You can navigate the browser using keyboard shortcuts. For more information, see Keyboard Shortcuts (Dependency Network Browser).
