Since the ratio of sodium to potassium seems to predict when to use drug Y
, you
can derive a field that contains the value of this ratio for each record. This field might be useful
later when you build a model to predict when to use each of the five drugs.
- To simplify your flow layout, start by deleting all the nodes except the drug1n.csv Data Asset node.
- Place a Derive node on the canvas and connect it to the drug1n.csv Data Asset node.
- Double-click the Derive node to edit its properties.
- Name the new field Na_to_K. Since you obtain the new field by dividing the sodium value by the potassium value, enter Na/K for the expression. You can also create an expression by clicking the calculator icon. This opens the Expression Builder, a way to interactively create expressions using built-in lists of functions, operands, and fields and their values.
- You can check the distribution of your new field by attaching a Histogram node to the Derive
node. In the Histogram node properties, specify
Na_to_K
as the field to be plotted andDrug
as the color overlay field. - Right-click the Histogram node and select Run. A histogram chart is added
to the Outputs pane. Based on the chart, you can conclude that when the
Na_to_K
value is around 15 or more, drugY
is the drug of choice.
