Data Filtering

The Data Filtering stage applies to all the categories that you select in the Data Setup stage. You should set the filters based on the histograms for each filter. The histograms help identify what data is actual outlier data, as compared to the rest of the data. In most cases, the default settings should be sufficient. However, if a histogram shows a flatter distribution, then you should consider modifying the default settings.

Process

Here is the high-level process for setting up and running data filtering.

1. Enter the appropriate values into the Filter Setup text entry boxes.

2. Click Run in order to filter the data.

3. Review the filtering results in the Data Filtering Summary table and the Data Filtering histograms.

4. After reviewing the results, if necessary, make changes to the values for the filters in Filter Setup and re-run the stage.

5. When you are satisfied with the results, click Next to go to the Similarity Calculation stage.
