Remove correlated features from training set and apply the same features to test set

Hello all,

I just wondering how you achieve to remove pairwise correlated features from your training set (using the Remove Correlated Attributes operator) and apply the same features to your test set? If I should compare this operation to something I think about the "Apply feature set" (as exists for the features selection operator) or somewhat OHE and the Preprocessing model output. See screenshot below of the process. I have normally these two training and test preprocessing operations in two different processes.

Thanks for your help.

    Hi @Andy3 ,
    if you need to do it, you can use Data to Weights for it. Attached is an example.

    Yeah, fair enough though I was hoping the where an operator(s) like this so I could have consistency through the various data sets (and in my mind :smile: ). I leave it there.

    Thanks for the help.
