"MarketBasket Analysis Pivot-Problem"

Hi all,

i have a Problem with my workflow:

I have a Data set like

CardID | Product
10150 softdrink
10236 beer
...

Everytime i wanna do pivoting, the Product-Column disapears.
The Pivoting has the following configuration:

group attribute: cardid
index attribute: Product

I dont understand why the Product disapears ....

greetings

No, not a bug but you would need an additional column containing the values which should be placed into the resulting table. Try:

CardID | Product | Amount
10150 softdrink 1
10236 beer 1
...

and you will be fine.

Cheers,
Ingo

Group Attribute cardid
index attribute: product

and i have created a new column amount

Update
i noticed that the Pivoting Operator had removed my Product column and doesnt show resulting columns

There is a working example of how to use the Pivoting operator on myexperiment.org. Just install the Community Extension and download the process named "Pivoting". There you will see how this process works.

i got the workflow. i can replicate the problem, if i remove the add noise operator.

but why is this 'add noise'-operator there ? that is confusing...

Make an educated guess... what could this noise attribute be used for?

Right: the values which should be placed in the resulting table!

hm i found something interesting i think at least.

if i construct a column count, with the instances all = 1 ( all examples have the SAME !!! entry ) then the pivot-operator doesnt perform his rotating .

Why i cant do that ??? did i forget a important detail ??

the curious problem is that, this 'feature lead to my problems i described all the time.

i think i have another bug for u:

can i send u a data set?

because not all column are displayed when pivoting...

IngoRM

Hi,

can i send u a data set?

no, but you could attach it to the bug or to one of our developers.

with my data set i constructed the follow Workflow:

Read Csv -> Generate Empty -> Numerical to polynominal ->

replace Missing Values -> set data -> pivoting -> set data (2) -> replace Missing

______________

ok to bypass that problem i described before i use the operator 'set data'.
i change the first example to 2 the rest of the counts got a '1' . and then i rotate
with the pivoting. if i look in the second Set Data Operator there must be more than 3 column
which i can choose.

in other words: the pivoting operator got 15 regular attributes and i in the second set data op i
only can choose between 3. there must be 15!

greetings

this i a part of the data. it should be placed into a csv-data- and then the workflow i wrote above should be build to replicate the 'error'.
