The C5.0 node builds either a decision tree or a rule set. The model works by
splitting the sample based on the field that provides the maximum information gain at each level.
The target field must be categorical. Multiple splits into more than two subgroups are allowed.
Example
node = stream.create("c50", "My node")
# "Model" tab
node.setPropertyValue("use_model_name", False)
node.setPropertyValue("model_name", "C5_Drug")
node.setPropertyValue("use_partitioned_data", True)
node.setPropertyValue("output_type", "DecisionTree")
node.setPropertyValue("use_xval", True)
node.setPropertyValue("xval_num_folds", 3)
node.setPropertyValue("mode", "Expert")
node.setPropertyValue("favor", "Generality")
node.setPropertyValue("min_child_records", 3)
# "Costs" tab
node.setPropertyValue("use_costs", True)
node.setPropertyValue("costs", [["drugA", "drugX", 2]])
