Hi, Padawan:
Thanks for your reply!
Which filter did you run?
Segment Combos 3/9 (filters.xml) you sent to me at 04/29/08 07:01.
Do not run the filter on a full package, prefilter the full package first.
What is prefilter? If my Basic Filters such as Sum, O/E … + Joe’s Occurrence of Distinct HD?
Back test each segment group or compound filter that you used as a whole using a latest setting of 10 to save time, see if the last drawing passed or failed. When you find the filter group that failed, click on customize, choose each filter seperately and click modify, then back test using a latest setting of 10 to save time.
Your Segment Compound 3/9 Filter includes 12 filters:
Seg Combos 3/9 Col 0 to 3; Seg Combos 3/9 Col 0 to 5;
Seg Combos 3/9 Col 0,2,4,6,8,10; Seg Combos 3/9 Col 0/2 to 8/10;
Seg Combos 3/9 Col 1,3,5,7,9; Seg Combos 3/9 Col 2 to 8;
Seg Combos 3/9 Col 3 to 6; Seg Combos 3/9 Col 4 to 7;
Seg Combos 3/9 Col 5 to 10; Seg Combos 3/9 Col 6 to 10;
Seg Combos 3/9 Col 0/1,4/5,8/9; Seg Combos 3/9 Col 2/3, 6/7, 10.
If I need to test it one by one? If so, how can I do that? If I take setting AND for testing one but and set other 11 filters as OR?
What’s meaning of “using a latest setting of 10 to save time�
I don’t see any setting of 10 in the Filter.
You would have to totally rebuild the filter to work with a default setting of 6/12. When you change the segment default settings you change the way the segments appear in the columns. If you want to change the default setting to 6/12 you would have to do some research to determin what segments hit the most often and in what columns.
The idea that I want to change the segment default settings from 3/9 to 6/12 or others came from my back-test of WN History – Segment couple months ago. It failed when my setting was 3/9 but and passed when my setting was 6/12. I'm not sure if 3/9 is too tight to use for my NY Take 5? How about your opinion? Thanks.
Best,
