SAS Enterprise Miner Association Node (Consolidate Time properties)

Xolani_Simelane — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 14:14:57 GMT

When using Association node for sequence analysis, there are 2 paramters called consolidate time and maximum transaction duration. May I check what's the unit of the 2 fields? For example, if the sequence in my data set is in days and I want to consolidate transactions within 2 days, shall I put "consolidate time = 2 (days) " or "consolidate time = 48 (hours)" ?

The documentation for this node states that the consolidate time is in hours. The maximum transaction duration does not state the units, but does relate it to consolidation time so I believe it is the same units.

Hope this helps.
