Export Factor Tables

Export Process​

  1. Click the export button in model results or analysis view
  2. Choose file format (CSV or Excel)
  3. Choose consolidation option (ANOVA-style or Full)
  4. Download begins automatically

File Format​

CSV:

  • Plain text, universally compatible
  • Easy to import to databases or other systems
  • One file per factor table

Excel:

  • Formatted workbook with multiple sheets
  • One sheet per factor table
  • Includes metadata and headers
  • Easier for business review

Consolidation Options​

Choose how factor tables are organized:

ANOVA-style (Separate Tables):

  • Main effects and interactions in separate tables
  • Example: Separate tables for "Age", "Vehicle", and "Age × Vehicle"
  • More tables, but clearer feature attribution
  • Best for understanding which effects are main vs. interaction

Full Consolidation:

  • Main effects merged into interaction tables where applicable
  • Example: Single "Age × Vehicle" table that includes the age and vehicle main effects
  • Fewer total tables, may simplify implementation
  • Predictions still exactly match the GBM

Both produce mathematically equivalent predictions—the difference is how the tables are organized for review and implementation.

Using Exported Tables​

To calculate predictions from factor tables:

  1. Look up the factor for each feature (or feature combination) for your data point
  2. Sum all applicable factors (additive models) or multiply after exponentiating (multiplicative models)
  3. Apply the link function inverse if needed

The exported tables include all information needed for implementation in your production systems.
