"Transform CSV list into Dummy Variables"

allia

I have a list variable (social media usage) that I would like to recode in a few easy steps from list to a collection of dummies (sm1, sm2, sm3, ...). 

My process looks like this:


And my output looks like this:



I'm an intuitive learner and just started with RapidMiner 2 days ago, I understand that at this point I'd need to introduce a transformation/ recode variable operator in between normalisation and results, but I'm not quite sure how to do that. Didn't find any transformation/ recode operator in the operator pannel.

Thank you for taking your time with my question. I know I could have googled it, but I'm a little overwhelmed with the sheer amount of information.

Hi,

You can use the operator "Split" for this with the setting "unordered split".  Below is the XML code of a process with a small example.

Hope this helps,
