Drug treatment - exploratory graphs (SPSS Modeler)

Drug treatment - exploratory graphs

In this example, imagine you're a medical researcher compiling data for a study. You've collected data about a set of patients, all of whom suffered from the same illness. During their course of treatment, each patient responded to one of five medications. Part of your job is to use data mining to find out which drug might be appropriate for a future patient with the same illness.

This example uses the flow named Drug Treatment - Exploratory Graphs, available in the example project you imported previously. The data file is drug1n.csv.
