Or shall I directly pick gini index with nomial target?

I am wondering if my target is set to binary and I would like to use gini gain, shall I change nominal target to gini or ordinal target to gini?</P> Wed, 13 Oct 2021 12:30:15 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/Decision-tree-splitting-rule-in-SAS-EM/m-p/773911#M8914 ycenycute 2021-10-13T12:30:15Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/Decision-tree-splitting-rule-in-SAS-EM/m-p/774055#M8915 <P>Binary target needs to be treated as nominal target. Choose Gini index with Nominal target.</P> Wed, 13 Oct 2021 22:36:53 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/Decision-tree-splitting-rule-in-SAS-EM/m-p/774055#M8915 gcjfernandez 2021-10-13T22:36:53Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/Decision-tree-splitting-rule-in-SAS-EM/m-p/774087#M8916 Do I need to change binary target to nominal target first?
