How can I model a infitity loop that breaks in a specific situation. A macro is set at value etc. stop=0

    Tricky one! Unfortunately the "Loop until" operator is not capable of defining a condition based on a macro (I will create a ticket for this one). You can work around this by misusing the exception operators. Wrap your loop inside a "Handle Exception" operator, use "Loop" with MAX_INTEGER iterations and place a branch operator inside which will throw an exception on a particular macro value. See example process below:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <process version="5.3.009">
      <context>
        <input/>
        <output/>
        <macros/>
      </context>
      <operator activated="true" class="process" compatibility="5.3.009" expanded="true" name="Process">
        <process expanded="true">
          <operator activated="true" class="handle_exception" compatibility="5.3.009" expanded="true" height="76" name="Handle Exception" width="90" x="112" y="30">
            <process expanded="true">
              <operator activated="true" class="loop" compatibility="5.3.009" expanded="true" height="76" name="Loop" width="90" x="112" y="30">
                <parameter key="set_iteration_macro" value="true"/>
                <parameter key="iterations" value="2147483647"/>
                <process expanded="true">
                  <operator activated="true" class="print_to_console" compatibility="5.3.009" expanded="true" height="76" name="Print to Console" width="90" x="112" y="30">
                    <parameter key="log_value" value="%{iteration}"/>
                  </operator>
                  <operator activated="true" class="branch" compatibility="5.3.009" expanded="true" height="76" name="Branch" width="90" x="407" y="30">
                    <parameter key="condition_type" value="expression"/>
                    <parameter key="condition_value" value="%{iteration}&gt;10"/>

    thanks, I`m trying it now. But it seems to work about 50 hours  ;) . Nevermind.

    The next problem is that RM sometimes failed to build a decision tree. I loop over examples (170 000 times) and after a few examples I design a decision tree build model. Within this loop it builds it cca 1600 times (that`s ok), but after 150th a decision tree failed and the model look like a one leaf and so every examples is labeled with one label, however there are two.

    Is there a way to detect this behaviour simply? Can RM compare two models?
    I have tried the group models, but I don`t know how it is worked. Does it take an average of confidence?

    thanks
