Hi,

if your data is in CSV format, you can use the Read CSV operator in RapidMiner to get the data into the RapidMiner format. Then you set so called roles to tell RapidMiner about the target attribute and which attributes to ignore for the classification (e.g. PID).

I suggest to work through some of the public RapidMiner tutorials, e.g. at http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php?topic=1750.0

I can also recommend the book Data Mining for the Masses from Matthew North. That book explains basic and advanced concepts of data mining with RapidMiner from the very beginning.

Best regards,
Marius
