When we define the data analysis process into Tanagra, it is possible to copy components (or entire branches of components) towards another location into the diagram. This feature is very helpful when we have to repeat sequences of treatments in different parts of the diagram. The settings are also duplicated.
In this tutorial, we show how to copy a component or a branch. We will see that this feature is helpful when, for instance, we deal with the performance comparisons of supervised learning algorithms on the same dataset. In this context, the processing sequence is always the same, only the method that we want to evaluate is different.
We work on the same project here. We cannot copy paste components between two opened projects. But, in another tutorial, we show how to save a part of the diagram in an external file. Thus, the same processing sequence can be applied on multiple datasets.
