indicates a required parameter

Summary: Input and Output Tables

If a row includes a subparameter, you can specify the name, caslib, and so on in the subparameter. Otherwise, you can specify the name, caslib, and so on in the parameter.

Parameters for Reading Input Tables
Parameter	Subparameter	Description
required parametertable	—	specifies the input table of samples.

Parameters for Creating Output Tables
Parameter	Subparameter	Description
required parametercasOut	—	specifies the output table to contain the synthetic samples.

Parameter Descriptions

* casOut=list(casouttable)

specifies the output table to contain the synthetic samples.

For more information about specifying the casOut parameter, see the common casouttable (Form 1) parameter (Appendix A: Common Parameters).

specifies the name of the input table column that contains the class of each sample.

classToAugment="string" | 64-bit-integer | double

specifies the class to generate synthetic samples for.

extrapolationFactor=double

Default	0
Minimum value	0

inputs=list("variable-name-1" <, "variable-name-2", ...>)

specifies which variables from the input table to use.

Alias	input

k=integer

specifies the number of nearest neighbors to use in generating the new instance.

Default	5
Range	1–1000

nominals=list("variable-name-1" <, "variable-name-2", ...>)

specifies the nominal variables in the input table.

nThreads=integer

The castable value can be one or more of the following:

caslib="string"

specifies the caslib for the input table that you want to use with the action. By default, the active caslib is used. Specify a value only if you need to access a table from a different caslib.

computedOnDemand=TRUE | FALSE

when set to True, creates the computed variables when the table is loaded instead of when the action begins.

Alias	compOnDemand
