Beginner Question: Do I need to specify interaction terms in rapidminerGo for GLM

cramsden

Hi, I'm new to this world and attempting to self teach myself. I

was previously using JASP to make multiple regression models, now I am using rapid miner go and love it so far. In my previous program I had to standardize all my variables and make sure to create any interactions I wanted to model in my data set before creating a multiple linear regression model. Do I need to do this for generalized linear regression in rapidminerGo or is that another thing entirely?

Thank you

Hi@cramsden,

Great questions! Usually you can have interactions after pre-processing data by generating new interaction columns. I understand that it would be awesome if we offer GLM with interaction parameters. But currently the GLM in Go will take the given attributes assuming they are independent without interaction. This is a good feature request and I will share with product &development team.

Thanks!

Thank you, with this being the case I would have to standardize all my variables first right? Sorry if redundant, I am very new to all of this
