- Automate the process of determining the best method to use
- Is an interactive process in the Explorer or Knowledge Flow
- Run classification and regression algorithms on a corpus of data sets
- Try different parameter settings
- Collect performance statistics
- Perform significance tests on the results
- Raw output saved to files or databases
- Analysis results can be export as text, CSV, Gnuplot, LaTeX or HTML
- Advanced users can distribute the processing load across multiple machines
关于 Pentaho Weka Knowledge Flow 功能的使用
- Define a data mining “process”
- Like the Explorer, all of WEKA's algorithms are available
- Data flows through the process from node to node
- Accommodates both batch-based processing and data streams
- Command line interface to WEKA can also train incremental classifiers on data streams
- Fully multi-threaded
- Accommodates multiple independent “flows” on the same layout
- Knowledge Flow’s Classifier step is multi-threaded
- Build models for more than one cross-validation fold in parallel
- Binary and XML-based persistence of flow layouts
