View data
Before you perform federated modeling, verify which modeling data is available.
Federated modeling uses two types of data: raw samples and federated tables.
Raw samples: The raw data from each participant in a federated modeling project. This data is located on each node, is authorized for the project, and is used as the data samples.
Federated tables: A federated table is created by categorizing raw samples from each node and combining data with the same properties into a single table. All data within a federated table shares the same table header and includes data from different nodes.
View raw samples
Raw samples originate from data that is authorized on each node. You can configure data authorization in the organization management console.
Follow these steps to view raw samples:
Log on to the federated modeling console. In the upper-right corner, select the desired project from the drop-down list.
NoteIf you cannot find the project, contact your organization's administrator to add you to the project in the organization management console.
In the Modeling Data area in the lower-left of the console, expand a node under Raw Samples to view the raw data it contains.
Click the name of a raw data item under a node. The data details appear on the right side of the page.
On the data details page, you can view all fields and field types in the data sample.
View federated tables
Federated tables are generated from script files and saved to the federated tables folder under Modeling Data.
By default, the federated tables folder in the federated modeling console is empty.
The federated tables folder contains two types of federated tables:
Initial federated tables: These are the direct output of the Create Federated Table script.
Optimized federated tables: These are output after data processing is performed using Pre-processing Rules or Pre-processing Applications.
Follow these steps to view federated tables:
In the Modeling Data area in the lower-left of the console, expand the Federated Tables folder to view all federated tables.
Click the name of a federated table. The table details appear on the right side of the page.
On the federated table details page, you can view all fields and field types, the name of the task that generated the table, and information about the related nodes. You can also click the task name to view the task details.
