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.
