Data visualization

One of the most important tasks a data analyst or data scientist needs to do is to understand the dataset. Data visualization is key to this understanding. DataRobot provides various ways to visualize the datasets to help you understand the dataset. These visualizations are built automatically for you so that you can spend your time analyzing them instead of preparing them. Let's look at what these are and how to use them.

When you go to the data page (Figure 1.20) for your project, you will see high-level profile information for your dataset. Inspect this information carefully to understand your dataset in totality. If you click on the Feature Association menu (top left), you will see how the features are related to one another (Figure 2.3):
