Step2
Select functionality i.e analysis type
Choose one of the data mining analysis type for project, such as
clustering, classification, decision tree, etc.
For example, we create a choose New Operator-> Learner >Supervised ->Wake->Tress->W-J48 to create a W-J48 operator.
This is decision tree functionality.
