Argument Category Description
InputTable Required Specifies the name of the input table.
OutputTable Required Specifies the name of the output table.
IDColumn Required Specifies the name of the input table column that contains the IDs to be clustered. Typically these values are customer identifiers.
ItemsColumn Required Specifies the name of the input column that contains the values to use for hashing.
SeedTable Optional Specifies the name of the table that contains the seeds to use for hashing. Typically, this table was created by an earlier Minhash call that specified its name in the SaveSeedTo argument.
SaveSeedTo Optional Specifies the name of the table where seeds are to be saved.
HashNum Required Specifies the number of hash functions to generate. The number_of_hash_functions determines the number and size of clusters generated.
KeyGroups Required Specifies the number of key groups to generate. The number_of_keygroups must be a divisor of number_of_hash_functions. A large number_of_keygroups decreases the probability that multiple users are assigned to the same cluster identifier.
InputFormat Optional Specifies the format of the values to be hashed (the values in items_column). The default value is 'integer'.
MinClusterSize Optional Specifies the minimum cluster size. The default value is 3.
MaxClusterSize Optional Specifies the maximum cluster size. The default value is 5.
Delimiter Optional Specifies the delimiter used between hashed values (typically customer identifiers) in the output. The default value is the space character.
