4.1 Maximum Number of Associations (K)

The Max. number of associations (K) option lets you specify the maximum number of associations to be discovered by BigML. You can set any value between 1 and 500 by moving the max. number of associations (K) slider or by typing the number you wish in the input box. For higher number of fields, values and instances in your dataset, the number of potential associations tends to increase exponentially. Thus, it makes sense to cap the number of associations. Keep in mind that higher \(K\) values will take longer to calculate. (See Figure 4.2 .)
