Quantile remap example

A Quantile remap is similar to a Numeric remap in that you can create ranges on a numeric field.

You choose the number of bands (or quantiles) that you require and iLoader populates each band with the same number of records (for example, four bands each containing 500,000 records).

The script is written in the following format:

QUANTILE, Full Table Name, Remap Fieldname, Existing Fieldname, Size of Quantile

If you are using the Data Transformation wizard, these entries relate to the column fields as follows:

QUANTILE Data Transformation function
Full Table Name Parent Table
Remap Fieldname Short name of column to quantise
Existing Fieldname Name of quantile
Size of Quantile Dimensions of quantile (the size of the quantile must be between 2 and 400)

The following example creates a new field called Income Quantile, containing 4 dimensions, from the Income column of the Customer table.

QUANTILE [Demo].[Customer] , Income Quantile , Income , 4
