The Decision List node identifies subgroups, or segments,
that show a higher or lower likelihood of a given binary outcome relative to the overall population.
For example, you might look for customers who are unlikely to churn or are most likely to respond
favorably to a campaign. You can incorporate your business knowledge into the model by adding your
own custom segments and previewing alternative models side by side to compare the results. Decision
List models consist of a list of rules in which each rule has a condition and an outcome. Rules are
applied in order, and the first rule that matches determines the outcome.
Example
node = stream.create("decisionlist", "My node")
node.setPropertyValue("search_direction", "Down")
node.setPropertyValue("target_value", 1)
node.setPropertyValue("max_rules", 4)
node.setPropertyValue("min_group_size_pct", 15)

|
number | Minimum segment size as a percentage. |

|
number | Minimum threshold that an input field has to improve the likelihood of response (give lift), to make it worth adding to a segment definition. |
