Details on Evaluate Model


This dialog allows you to compare the model to another data table that includes the values you are trying to predict using the model. For example, a model can be created using confirmed sales data for the month of January, evaluated by using confirmed sales data for February and then used to predict future sales.

When evaluating a model, you can select a data table to evaluate the model on and match the response and predictor columns in the model data and the evaluation data.
