Hello all,

 

I am working with ThingWorx Analytics 9.0 and I want to perform a Signals analysis. My dataset is a time-series dataset and my goal variable is from type ordinal. My question: Is there a possibility that I can perfrom a signals job with this dataset?

 

Thank you already in advance.

 

Kind regards

Hi David

 

You should be able to generate a signal for Ordinal goal, however this features is not supported in Analytics Builder for now.

Therefore you need to use the CreateJob() service of the AnalysticsServer_SignalThing

Then use the  AnalysticsServer_SignalThing.RetrieveResults() with the jobid returned by CreateJob()

 

Hope this helps

Hi Christophe,

 

thank you very much this helps a lot. I have just one more question: which job tags do I have to add to the signals so that I can see them in the analytics builder (I just want to see them there, no further editing). I know that something like this can be done with created models with the service "AddJobTags". Is something similar possible with signals? And if so which job tags do I have to add?

 

Thank you for your support.

 

Kind regards

David

Hi David

 

It is not possible here. Adding the tags does break Builder because it does not understand this type of signals
