How to change the variable type and how to dichotomize in PA Expert Mode

Hello everyone,

 

I am pretty new to SAP Predictive Analytics and I want to ask you some questions about it. Currently I am using the desktop installation of SAP Predictive Analytics 2.3.

 

My first question is if it is possible to change the type(nominal, ordinal, continous) of each variable in the expert mode manually? I found it on the Automated Analytics but not in the Expert Analytics. Unfortunately I wasnt able to find it in the sap expert user guide aswell.

 

Secondly, what do you think about dichotomizing for example a variable that contains a category or color according to the behaviour of the algorithms?

Will this may improve the results of the algorithms?

 

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

Christopher
