Precision while importing data in RapidMiner Studio

Nikhil23

Hello,

 

I am new to Rapid Miner and trying out its functionality. I am having an issue with the precision of the data that is being imported into Rapid Miner. I have data which is specified in exponential notation (1E-8 for example). When I import this into Rapid Miner (using "Add Data"), it eventually converts this to 0.000. The first step in the process ("Specify your data format") takes in the right precision, but the next step ("Format your columns") converts the 1E-8 to 0.000.

 

I also have data in the range of 1E-2 and it seem to convert that OK. How do I import the data with the right precision?

 

Thanks,

Nikhil
