Group Models

Synopsis

This operator groups the given models into a single combined model. When this combined model is applied, it is equivalent to applying the original models in their respective order.

Description

The Group Models operator groups all input models together into a single combined model. This combined model can be applied on ExampleSets (using the Apply Model operator) like other models. When this combined model is applied, it is equivalent to applying the original models in their respective order. This combined model can also be written into a file using the Write Model operator. This operator is useful in cases where preprocessing and prediction models should be applied together on new and unseen data. A grouped model can be ungrouped with the Ungroup Models operator. Please study the attached Example Process for more information about the Group Models operator.

Input

model in

This input port expects a model. This operator can have multiple inputs but it is mandatory to provide at least two models to this operator as input. When one input is connected, anothermodel inport becomes available which is ready to accept another model(if any). The order of models remains the same i.e. the model supplied at the firstmodel inport of this operator will be the first model to be applied when the resultant combined model is applied.

Output

model out

The given models are grouped into a single combined model and the resultant grouped model is returned from this port.
