Compare the Models

To compare models using a Model Comparison node:
  1. Select the Assess tab on the node toolbar and drag a Model Comparison node into the diagram workspace.
  2. Connect the Decision Tree node, the Decision Tree — CST node, and the Decision Tree — TRB node to the Model Comparison node.

  3. Right-click the Model Comparison node in the diagram workspace, and select Run. Click Yes in the Confirmation dialog box.
  4. Click Results in the Run Status dialog box when the node has finished running.
    The Results window appears.
  5. Select the ROC Chart.

    The greater the area under the curve, the better the model. The brown line represents the baseline to compare the models by. The blue line represents how well the Decision Tree — TRB model did at predicting the target SERIOUS. This model used input from the Text Rule Builder node. The green line represents how well the Decision Tree model did at predicting the target SERIOUS. The red line represents how well the Decision Tree — CST model did at predicting the target SERIOUS.
    Both the Decision Tree and the Decision Tree — CST models performed better than the Decision Tree — TRB model. The Decision Tree and the Decision Tree — CST models performed similarly with respect to each other.
    As an additional exercise, you could try modifying the number of multiple or single term topics in the Text Topic or Text Topic — CST nodes. Then rerun the Decision Tree and the Decision Tree — CST nodes to see whether the models have been improved.
