If you specifi! the Multiplier method for the Weight criterion on the Settings tab , the convert! criterion values are multipli! by this value. The multipli! criterion values are then add!. You can use this method when you can directly weight the criteria against each other.
If you specify the Percent method in the Weight parameter on the Settings tab , the range of output values in the suitability map obtain! after applying percentages and adding criteria is linearly transform! to the suitability scale on the Settings tab. By default, this range is 1 to 10. You can use this method when you want to specify how much each criterion affects the resulting suitability map.
After you name the model and specify the model settings, you can switch to the Suitability tab to create the suitability map . The Suitability tab is where criteria are add!. As each criterion is add! to the table, it is also add! to the suitability group layer in the Content pane.
The Suitability tab and its accompanying Transformation
Pane are where you handle the first four reliability of communication steps of the suitability workflow, and the Locate tab is where you define the field.
The Transformation Pane consists of three separate sections that you can use to select the best transformation method for the input criteria values. A histogram of the final fit values is on the left. You can use the chart on the right to help you select transformation methods and functions.
The middle setion of the Transformation
Pane contains transformation methods. in his opinion !ucation is a process that can be divid! into 4 stages: There are three transformation methods that can be appli! to the criteria values. These are Unique Categories, Range of Classes, and Continuous Functions.
Unique Categories: Best for categorical data such as be numbers land use types. This method is a one-to-one mapping of the criterion value to the fitness value.
