Set Variable Name

Variable Name

Type in a name for the predictor variable to be created. This must be a unique name, i.e. the same name cannot be assigned to two or more different predictor variables. The name must have a length of at least 1 character and can have a maximum length of 20 characters (ISO basic Latin alphabet). The name cannot contain numbers, spaces or special characters. It is recommended to use a name that will help users to identify the input dataset that the predictor was derived from (e.g. use "roads" rather than "PredictorOne"). Click the Enter button.

Name Schema for Line Length or Value within Buffer

Predictor variables extracted through this method will appear in the following name schema:

pB_[name entered by user]_[category name]_[buffer distance]_[aggregation method]

where:

Examples:

pB_roadlenth_motorway_500_sum - This predictor variable was extracted using a line feature class of roads. The feature class contained a number of road categories and this predictor contains the total length of motorway within a 500m buffer

pB_roadlengthtraffic_major_1000_mtv - This predictor variable was extracted using a line feature class of roads with traffic counts. The naming schema shows that this predictor variable contains the length of major roads multiplied with the traffic count within a 1000m buffer.
