Now that I have introduced feature layers in Spotfire, I 'd like to move on to an advanced topic and show you how you can use a feature layer and the power of Spotfire's built-in statistical engine, combined with open source code released by TIBCO, to solve the issue with geocoding the Airbnb data.
