Problem Note 41416: Confidence Limits for Link Graph - Link Table incorrectly imply direction
The Link Graph that is available in the results for the Path Analysis and Association nodes in SAS® Enterprise Miner™ is not intended to be directional. However, the labels on the columns of the Link Graph - Link Data table incorrectly imply a direction. The confidence value that is displayed for an association might correspond to the association in the Rules Table which is in the opposite direction from the direction implied by the column labels.
No error or warning messages appear.
Do not infer direction from the Link Graph - Link Data table. Instead, determine the confidence level and direction using the Rules Table.
