Hi

 

I'd like to score data using a gradient-boosting model created in VDMML. The model consists of several interval and nominal variable. I downloaded the scoring code, there are many lines related to interval variables, but the code doesn't include a single reference to nominal variables.

When I download a scoring code for linear regression, the nominal variables are used there.

 

Is it correct? Are nominal variables included in the scoring code? How can I locate them there?

 

(I know that the gradient boosting has a difficult interpretation, but I wanted to check usage of different score-card variables and I'm very surprised that I can't find any nominal one in the code.)

Check the variable importance table and see whether the nominal variables are included or not
