Saving predictors to a new dataset based on importance

You can save predictors to a new dataset based on the information in the predictor importance chart.

1. Activate the model in the Model Viewer. See the topic Interacting with a model for more information.
2. From the menus choose:

   Generate > Field Selection (Predictor Importance)

   Top number of variables. Includes or excludes the most important predictors up to the specified number.

   Importance greater than. Includes or excludes all predictors with relative importance greater than the specified value.

3. After you click OK, the New Dataset dialog appears.
