"Performance operator delivers correlation 000 if correlation is negative"
Contributor II
Hi RM community,
I was looking for a way to get the correlation value out of the correlation matrix. As this doesn't seem to be feasible (in the community version without reports as described in the forum) I tried to capture correlation from the "performance (regression)" operator.
I discovered that the performance operator delivers 0.000 as correlation in case that correlation is negative.
To reproduce this behaviour run the attached process. Look at the result of the correlation matrix. "att1" and "att" have a negative correlation to "label".
Then change the "name" parameter of the "set role 2" operator to an arbitrary attribute and compare the result of the performance operator to the correlation matrix.
In case that "att1" or "att5" is being selected the performance operator will show 0.000
Kind regards
Sachs
