Outcome definition settings
You can change these settings to affect the Outcome definition step of the predictive model configuration process that is described in Defining an outcome. The settings include the names of the sections that are displayed for the step and the default values for particular options.
| Setting | Description |
| Model type | Select a type of predictive model. |
| Category labels | |
| Predicted outcome | Name a case of predicted behavior, for example, Responder. |
| Alternative outcome | Name a case of alternative behavior, for example, Non-Responder. |
| Indeterminates | Name a case of indeterminate behavior, for example, Insignificant arrears. |
| Unknowns | Name a case of unknown behavior by the previous decision model or rules, for example, Unknown. |
| Rejects | Name a case of rejection behavior by the previous decision model or rules, for example, Reject. |
| Accepts | Name a case of acceptance behavior by the previous decision model or rules, for example, Accept. |
| Negative overrides | Name a case of acceptance behavior by the previous decision model or rules that resulted in negative behavior, for example, Decline. |
| Positive overrides | Name a case of rejection behavior by the previous decision model or rules that resulted in positive behavior, for example, Override. |
| Project | |
| Use business objectives | Select this option to use business objectives to measure and optimize model performance. |
| Objective | Select the business objective. |
| Number of positives | Set the number of cases with the predicted outcome for which the business objectives will be calculated. |
| Volume (max. %) | Set the volume at which the business objectives will be calculated. |
| Value field | Select the required value field. |
| Additional settings | |
| Behavior description | Describe the behavior, for example, Response behavior measured after 60 days. |
| Gestation period (max. days) | Set the number of days after which behavior was measured for the development data and the time period for which future behavior is predicted. |
| Performance | Select the method to evaluate the predictive power of the models. |
| Invert probabilities | Select this option to have the probabilities of alternative behavior calculated. |
