How to: Adjust Algorithm Parameters

You can tune the algorithms that are provided in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services (SSAS) by using algorithm parameters.

For More Information:Data Mining Algorithms

To change an algorithm parameter

On the Mining Models tab of Data Mining Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio, right-click the algorithm type of the mining model for which you want to tune the algorithm, and select Set Algorithm Parameters.

The Algorithm Parameters dialog box opens.
In the Value column, set a new value for the algorithm that you want to change.

If you do not enter a value in the Value column, Analysis Services uses the default parameter value. The Range column describes the possible values that you can enter.
Click OK.

The algorithm parameter is set with the new value. The parameter change will not be reflected in the mining model until you reprocess the model.
