Summary
This chapter introduced the Derive node. The Derive node can perform many different types of calculations so that users can extract more information from the data. These additional fields can then provide insight that may not have been apparent. In this chapter you learned that the Derive node can create fields as formulas, flags, nominals, or conditionals.
In the next chapter, we will continue to explore our data by discovering simple relationships between outcome fields and predictor fields. Specifically, readers will learn to use several statistical and graphing nodes to determine which fields are related to an outcome variable.
