Exploring data with R visuals
Power BI has the capability to run R scripts and display R visuals. R is a powerful language that is often used by data scientists for statistics and ML. You will need to install R on your local machine to use it with Power BI Desktop per the instructions at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-r-visuals.
There are numerous R visualizations that can be useful for data analysis and finding new features for ML models. The FAA Wildlife Strike data contains several True/False flags related to the portions of the aircraft struck, the location of damage, the ingestion of animals into the engines, and more. These values should fit nicely on an R correlation plot, which will graphically show flags that tend to correlate either positively or negatively. Let’s give it a shot!
You will follow three steps to find new features:
- Prep are the data for the R correlation plot.
- Build the R correlation plot visualization...
