Node Types
When you open an IBM® SPSS® Modeler stream from IBM SPSS Deployment Manager, you see that the stream nodes are represented by different shaped icons. Circle icons represent source data nodes, while hexagonal nodes represent processing operations on data records and fields. Triangles indicate graphical output, while pentagons represent modeling nodes. Output (other than graphical) and export operations are indicated by rectangular nodes.
The various nodes are fully described in the IBM SPSS Modeler Source, Process and Output Nodes and the IBM SPSS Modeler Modeling Nodes guides.
