Loop Cluster - exclude examples
Contributor I
Hi,
I have used Rapidminer to create many files with clusters. Therefore, my data file has many examples with a set of numeric attributes, a label, and a special attribute - cluster attribute. Next, I am trying to use (Loop Clusters) process to run classification models within validation process which is primarily working for the data files I have. However, some data files have clusters with one or 2 examples or observations; therefore an error is generated whenever the loop reaches any of the clusters with small number of examples. My question is how can I exclude clusters with low number of examples in the Loop Clusters process.
Thanks

you can extract the size of your cluster subset with the Extract Macro operator and the option "number of examples", next you use a branch operator, set as condition that the number of examples has to be greater two, and perform your model building in the Then-branch. The Else-branch can return an empty example set or some dummy data, whatever fits best.
Best,
