Copy Optimization Range From Field Dialog

The Copy Optimization Range From Field Dialog allows you to select a field with an optimization or training range in order to copy the associated date range.

Specifying a Prediction to Copy a Data Range From

To specify a field to copy a data range from, use the selection tree control.

Ä    Note: Group predictions are not listed under their associated groups in the selection tree. Instead, these predictions are listed under each data series that the prediction was applied to. This is because the date ranges associated with the training sets of each data series may be different depending on the number of samples that were available.

&  For help using the selection tree, see the help for Selection Trees.

Selecting the Data Range to Use

When you train a prediction or optimize a field, the data set aside for optimization is divided in up to three sets. Any contiguous group of these sets can be selected using the Select Ranges to Include combo box. In addition, the data before or after the training data can be selected.

·      Training Set

This data is used for the actual training or optimization of the field. The behavior of the field for this data has the largest effect on its training or optimization.

·      Cross Validation Set

This data is used for determining when to stop the training or optimization of the field. The training or optimization process will continue as long as the behavior of the field for this field continues to improve. This data has an effect on the training or optimization, but it is not as large as that of the training set.

·      Accuracy Testing Set

This data is set aside to not be part of the training or optimization process. By default, it is the most recent data at the time the field is trained or optimized.

·      Data Before All Training Sets

This option selects all data before the first date included in the training sets.

·      Data After All Training Sets (Production Data)

This option selects all data after the last date included in the training sets.

What Do I Do Next?

When you have selected the field and ranges to use, press the OK button. If you would like to exit from this dialog without copying a date range, press the Cancel button.

How Did I Get Here?

The Copy Optimization Range From Field Dialog appears when you select the Copy Optimization Range from a Field… button from the Modify Options Dialog: Signal Analysis page, the Signal Analysis Options Dialog, or the Correlation Analysis Wizard: Analysis Options page.
