The CARMA model extracts a set of rules from the data without requiring you to
specify input or target fields. In contrast to Apriori, the CARMA node offers build settings for
rule support (support for both antecedent and consequent) rather than just antecedent support. This
means that the rules generated can be used for a wider variety of applications—for example, to find
a list of products or services (antecedents) whose consequent is the item that you want to promote
this holiday season.
Example
node = stream.create("carma", "My node")
# "Fields" tab
node.setPropertyValue("custom_fields", True)
node.setPropertyValue("use_transactional_data", True)
node.setPropertyValue("inputs", ["BP", "Cholesterol", "Drug"])
node.setPropertyValue("partition", "Test")
# "Model" tab
node.setPropertyValue("use_model_name", False)
node.setPropertyValue("model_name", "age_bp_drug")
node.setPropertyValue("use_partitioned_data", False)
node.setPropertyValue("min_supp", 10.0)
node.setPropertyValue("min_conf", 30.0)
node.setPropertyValue("max_size", 5)
# Expert Options
node.setPropertyValue("mode", "Expert")
node.setPropertyValue("use_pruning", True)
node.setPropertyValue("pruning_value", 300)
node.setPropertyValue("vary_support", True)
node.setPropertyValue("estimated_transactions", 30)
node.setPropertyValue("rules_without_antecedents", True)
