A MiningFunctionSettings (MFS) object is an object which specifies the type of the model, the type of the algorithm and its settings, attribute usage and attribute measurement types. This information is forwarded to other tasks, such as MiningBuildTask. There is a number of MFS types:

| Status | Name | Description | Type | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| included | attributeUsageSet | an object which stores the information about the roles of the variables in a particular task | AttributeUsageSet | own |
| obligatory | algorithmSettings | an object which defines a particular algorithm for the selected task (for example LogisticRegression or ClassificationTrees for a classification task) as well as its detailed parameters (like stop criterion or optimization algorithms) | algorithmSettings | own |
| obligatory | logicalData | the data used in the task | LogicalData | own |
