Decision Tree - Variables Selection

joacoachinelli

Hi everyone!

I´m making a Decision Tree Model to estimate my sales, according to Demographic and Points of Interest information.

I´m wondering if it is possible to "weitgth"my variables, in order to "force" the tree to start its classification first with the demographics and use later the Points of Interest.

Does anyone knows if this could be possible?

Thanks!

Hi @joacoachinelli, 

You can set sampling weights with the Decision Tree tool. Please see this article for details: Tool Mastery Decision Tree.

There is a help page for the Decision Tree tool as well, but it does not have further information on sampling weights. Decision Tree Help Page 

If you would like to review your use case in further detail, please email Alteryx Support at support@alteryx.com.
