How to save macros in csv or excel format?

Hi Archana,

i usually use Generate Data By User Specification and build myself the desired example set.

Hi Martin,

Previously you shared a process which stores all performance folds:

http://community.rapidminer.com/t5/RapidMiner-Studio/How-to-store-performance-metrics-from-each-10-fold-cross/m-p/36129#M25010

I need to save all performance fold results into csv or excel. Is there any way?

Thank you

PS: i have used write as text operator but it stores only last result not all.

Hi Again,

have a look at performance to data. Just use performance to data and Write CSV instead of store. You can use %{a} to write different files. In case you want to do this on the stored performances: You can use Loop Repository here.

I tried to save it in csv format after using performance to data operator, but it is empty. Where i need to define %{a}?

As i am new to RM, please help in how to integrate loop operator with stored performance.

Thank you

Hi,

this is actually much easier:
With RapidMiner 7.3 you have a new port in the cross validation, called test results. If you put a "Performance to Data" operator on the test side and connect it's output to this port, you will get a table of all the performances on the outside "test" port. You can then simply write it as csv or excel. Here's a process that does it with the sonar dataset. I also add a Generate Attribute to identify the folds, using Martin's %{a} apply count macro suggestion:

Hi Sebastian,

I run the process which you have shared, above table shows only one result. Not able to obtain all the 10-fold results.

Thank you.

Hi,

if I simply copy the xml into the XML panel of RapidMiner 7.3, press the green button to reload the xml as process, and execute it, it shows then lines as expected. Sorry, I simply cannot reproduce your problem and I assume, you simply changed something in the process before executing it. Did you perhaps insert a breakpoint somewhere?

Greetings, 

Sebastian

I confirmed that the example process that @land supplied works as intended and provides a table of performance output for each of the folds.  Make sure the "test" output is connected from the cross-validation operator and you should see it.  

Hi,
Thanks a lot, yes i split the generate attribute operator to get results in excel instead connecting to test port of validation.
I have a doubt, should i consider 10th fold result for model error calculations?

Hi @archu92, it is normal to have such doubt. It is not suggested to use error estimation from one single fold. “What a coincidence! 100 accuracy ” Usually we take average of MSE(mean squared error) or average of accuracy from 10 cross validated models. That is exactly what you will see in the results view for 'Performance' output of a cross-validation operator.

For example, you can have ouput for different performance criterion in the performance vector view,

accuracy: 66.9048% +/- 7.2695% (mikro: 66.8269%) shows average accuracy with its standard deviation

AUC (optimistic): 0.810101 +/- 0.078353 (mikro: 0.810101) (positive class: Mine) shows average Aera Under Roc Curve with its standard deviation

.....

An insightful post from Ingo  can also help you understand why we need cross validation and how to interpret it

ps. When we talk about model error, we should only care about the error on testing set (testing error), not the training error.
