Indentifying and eliminating insignificant attributes

RepletionRepletion MemberPosts:24Contributor I
Hello!
Within statistics we usually operate with a 5% significance value for determining which attributes are significant or insignificant in the model. Thereby one can remove insignificant attributes and get a "simpler" model. How would one go ahead doing this in Rapidminer and is there an automated process for it?

    Hi@Repletion,

    I'm not aware of an implementation of the feature your describe in RapidMiner.
    But more generally, what you describe - get a "simpler" model - is calledfeature selection.

    In RapidMiner you can apply feature selection by :
    ——使Automatic Feature Selectionand choosing your option (simple/balanced/accurate) in Auto-Model.
    - Using directly in your process theAutomatic Feature Engineeringoperator.
    - Using thefeature weightsoperator(s) (Weight by Information Gain,Weight by Correlationetc.) associated with the选择的权重operator.

    Hope this helps,

    Regards,

    Lionel
