The models palette

The models palette (on the Models tab in the managers window) enables you to use, examine, and modify model nuggets in various ways.

Right-clicking a model nugget in the models palette opens a context menu with the following options:

  • Add To Stream. Adds the model nugget to the currently active stream. If there is a selected node in the stream, the model nugget will be connected to the selected node when such a connection is possible, or otherwise to the nearest possible node. The nugget is displayed with a link to the modeling node that created the model, if that node is still in the stream.
  • Browse. Opens the model browser for the nugget.
  • Rename and Annotate. Allows you to rename the model nugget and/or modify the annotation for the nugget.
  • Generate Modeling Node. If you have a model nugget that you want to modify or update and the stream used to create the model is not available, you can use this option to recreate a modeling node with the same options used to create the original model.
  • Save Model, Save Model As. Saves the model nugget to an external generated model (.gm) binary file.
  • Store Model. Stores the model nugget in IBM® SPSS® Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository.
  • Export PMML. Exports the model nugget as predictive model markup language (PMML), which can be used for scoring new data outside of IBM SPSS Modeler. Export PMML is available for all generated model nodes.
  • Add to Project. Saves the model nugget and adds it to the current project. On the Classes tab, the nugget will be added to the Generated Models folder. On the CRISP-DM tab, it will be added to the default project phase.
  • Delete. Deletes the model nugget from the palette.

Right-clicking an unoccupied area in the models palette opens a context menu with the following options:

  • Open Model. Loads a model nugget previously created in IBM SPSS Modeler.
  • Retrieve Model. Retrieves a stored model from an IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services repository.
  • Load Palette. Loads a saved models palette from an external file.
  • Retrieve Palette. Retrieves a stored models palette from an IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services repository.
  • Save Palette. Saves the entire contents of the models palette to an external generated models palette (.gen) file.
  • Store Palette. Stores the entire contents of the models palette in an IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services repository.
  • Clear Palette. Deletes all nuggets from the palette.
  • Add Palette To Project. Saves the models palette and adds it to the current project. On the Classes tab, the nugget will be added to the Generated Models folder. On the CRISP-DM tab, it will be added to the default project phase.
  • Import PMML. Loads a model from an external file. You can open, browse, and score PMML models created by IBM SPSS Statistics or other applications that support this format. See the topic Importing and exporting models as PMML for more information.
