Anomaly Detection with the BigML Dashboard

4.4 ID fields

This option allows you to include fields in your anomaly view to see their values in the DATA INSPECTOR (see Chapter 5 ) but they will not be used to compute the Anomaly Score. Select fields one by one by typing the first characters of the field name in the selector shown in Figure 4.5 . A list of fields found in the dataset matching those characters will appear so you can select one of them. Text and items fields are always treated as ID fields since anomalies cannot include them to compute the anomaly score (section 2.2 ).

Note: fields marked as non-preferred in your dataset are not eligible as ID fields. To include a non-preferred field as an ID field, first set that field as preferred. (See the corresponding section Updating fields of the Datasets document.)
