Setting general options for a stream
Decimal symbol.
Select either a comma (,) or a period (.) as a decimal separator.
Grouping symbol.
For number display formats, select the symbol used to group values (for example,
the comma in 3,000.00). Options include none, period, comma, space, and locale-dened (in
which case the default for the current locale is used).
Encoding.
Specify the stream default method for text encoding. (Note: Applies to Var. File
source node and Flat File export node only. N o other nodes use this setting; most data les have
embedd ed encoding information.) You can choos e either the system default or UTF-8. The
system default is specied in the Windows Control Panel or, if running in dist r ibuted mode, on the
server computer. For more information, see the topic Unicode Support in IBM SPSS Modeler
in Appendix B on p. 248.
Ruleset Evaluation.
Deter mines how rule set m odels are evaluated. By default, rule sets use Voting
to combine predictions from individual rules and determine the nal prediction. To ensure that
rule sets use the rst hit rule by default, select First Hit. Note that this option does not apply to
Decision List models, which always use the rst hit as dened by the algori thm.
