PredictProbability

Returns the probability for a specified state.

Syntax

PredictProbability(<scalar column reference>, [<predicted state>])

Applies To

A scalar column.

Return Type

A scalar value.

Remarks

If the predicted state is omitted, the state that has the highest predictable probability is used, excluding the missing states bucket. To include the missing states bucket, set the <predicted state> to INCLUDE_NULL.

To return the probability for the missing states, set the <predicted state> to NULL.

Examples

The following example uses a natural prediction join to determine whether an individual is likely to be a bike buyer based on the TM Decision Tree mining model, and also determines the probability for the prediction.

SELECT
  [Bike Buyer],
  PredictProbability([Bike Buyer], 1) AS [Bike Buyer Probability],
From
  [TM Decision Tree]
NATURAL PREDICTION JOIN
(SELECT 28 AS [Age],
  '2-5 Miles' AS [Commute Distance],
  'Graduate Degree' AS [Education],
  0 AS [Number Cars Owned],
  0 AS [Number Children At Home]) AS t
