Join Categorics

The Join Categorics option provides a convenient way to stratify the dataset, based on multiple categoric variables. It is a simple mechanism that creates a new variable from the combination of all of the values of the two constituent variables selected in the Rattle interface. The resulting variables are prefixed with JOIN_ and include the names of both the constituent variables.

A simple example might be to join Gender and Marital, to give a new variable, JOIN_Marital_Gender.

We might also want to join a numeric variable and a categoric variable, like the typical XnullXRattle!VariablesR functions (R function)Rattle!VariablesR libraries (R library)Rattle!VariablesR option (R option)Rattle!VariablesR packages (R package)Rattle!VariablesDatasets (Dataset)Rattle!VariablesRattle!VariablesAge and XnullXRattle!VariablesR functions (R function)Rattle!VariablesR libraries (R library)Rattle!VariablesR option (R option)Rattle!VariablesR packages (R package)Rattle!VariablesDatasets (Dataset)Rattle!VariablesRattle!VariablesGender stratification. To do this we first use the Binning option within Remap to categorise the XnullXRattle!VariablesR functions (R function)Rattle!VariablesR libraries (R library)Rattle!VariablesR option (R option)Rattle!VariablesR packages (R package)Rattle!VariablesDatasets (Dataset)Rattle!VariablesRattle!VariablesAge variable (See Section 5.3.1).
