Chapter 8: Beginning Advanced Analytics

In Chapter 7, Extracting Value, we developed our skills for analyzing your data and producing a report to consume your insights. In this chapter, we will extend our capabilities to complete a spatial analysis and start a Machine Learning (ML) project.

Using the spatial capabilities of Alteryx, we will learn about how we can generate spatial information in our dataset and use that spatial information to find the geographic relationships that are present.

Next, we will investigate the different options for building an ML project. We will investigate three levels of control for deploying an ML model built from a fully automated process to get complete control of all processes.

These topics will cover how to gain analytic insights directly from an Alteryx workflow. We will also see how we can leverage the Alteryx Server gallery to provide automated insights and extract these insights in an automated manner.

We will cover the following...
