Select a subset variable

To use subsetting in an MGPS data mining, you must select a subset variable.

  1. In the left navigation pane, hover on the Data Analysis icon (Data Analysis icon), then click Data Mining Runs.
  2. At the top left of the Data Mining Runs home page, click Create Run.
  3. On the Create Data Mining Run page, select the type of run to create and click Next.
  4. On the Select "As Of" Date page, choose the latest date and time or select Other to choose a date and time. Then click Next.
  5. On the Select Variables page, select at least one Item variable by clicking its name, and, optionally, select Stratification variables.
  6. Select Define subsets.
  7. Click Next.

    The Select Subset Variable page appears. If you also checked Define custom terms on the Select Variables page, the Select Subset Variable page appears after you add custom terms.

  8. From the Subset variable list, select the variable to use for subsetting.

    You can select only one subset variable, and you cannot select the same variable to be both an item variable and a subset variable in the same data mining run.

  9. Click Next.
  10. Continue with Define subset values.
