Since many of the data fields are categorical, you can also try plotting a web chart, which maps associations between different categories.
- Place a Web node on the canvas and connect it to the drug1n.csv Data Asset node. Then double-click the Web node to edit its properties.
- Select the fields
BP
(for blood pressure) andDrug
. Click Save. Hover over the Web node and click the Run icon . A web chart is added to the Outputs pane.
From the plot, it appears that drug Y
is associated with all three levels of
blood pressure. This is no surprise; you have already determined the situation in which drug
Y
is best.
But if you ignore drug Y
and focus on the other drugs, you can see that drugs
A
and B
are also associated with high blood pressure. And drugs
C
and X
are associated with low blood pressure. And normal blood
pressure is associated with drug X
. At this point, though, you still don't know how
to choose between drugs A
and B
or between drugs
C
and X
, for a given patient. This is where modeling can help.
