You have a Partition column in your data that takes on values of 0, 1, and 2.
What happens, by default, if you define a Partition data item from this variable?
- A . Observations with a value of 0 will be used as Training data.
- B . Observations with a value of 1 will be used as Training data.
- C . Observations with a value of 2 will be used as Training data.
- D . No partition will be used because there are more than two levels.
Refer to the exhibit:
