Regression via classification
Hi,
I wish to run a classification algorithm on a regression task.
Generated a new attribute where the label attribute is now discrete.
Unfortunately, I can no longer, straightforward apply the Performance (Regression) operator.
I have to compute the absolute error myself using generate attributes.
Since I'm applying attribute selection, I'm doing this over and over again, which is really slow.
Is there a faster way to achieve this result?
Best regards,
Wessel

i can't get your processes in - somethings wrong with the xml.
Can't you simply use parse numbers on the prediction, swap the the label and prediction roles on the right hand side of x-val and use standard performance operator?
