Azure ML Part 6: A Machine Learning Prediction scenario (3)

In previous posts (Part 4 and Part 5), I have explained some of the main components of Azure ML via a prediction scenario. In post one the process of data cleaning (using SQL Transformation, Cleaning Missing Value, Select specific Columns, and Edit Meta Data)  has been explained. and in the second Post, I have explained how to apply Read more about Azure ML Part 6: A Machine Learning Prediction scenario (3)[…]

Optimising Power BI data models

For this blog I thought I would share a handy trick for optimising Power BI using a data modelling solution that is often forgotten or overlooked.  It involves focusing on certain columns based on the degree of uniqueness they contain and converting or removing all together from a data model.  I will explain how and why this Read more about Optimising Power BI data models[…]

Dynamic distances in Power BI

I recently encountered a question posed to the Power BI community forum I found interesting enough to kick-start my blogging on Power BI. The essence of the question was asking how to dynamically determine distances between two geographic points from user based selections.  So I thought I would cover how this can be done in Power BI to Read more about Dynamic distances in Power BI[…]

Azure ML Part 5: A Machine Learning Prediction scenario (2)

In the previous Post , I start to do prediction the cancer diagnosis using some laboratory data. I have explained some of the main components for doing the data cleaning such as “SQL Transformation”, “Edit Meta Data”, “Select Columns” and “Missing Values”. In this post I am going to show the rest of data cleaning Read more about Azure ML Part 5: A Machine Learning Prediction scenario (2)[…]

Azure ML Part 4: A Machine Learning Prediction scenario (1)

In previous Posts Part 1, Part 2 and Part3  I have explain some about the azure Ml environment, how to import data into it and finally how to do data transformation using Azure ML component. In this post and the next one I am going to show how to do a Machine Learning in Azure Read more about Azure ML Part 4: A Machine Learning Prediction scenario (1)[…]

Visualizing Data Distribution in Power BI – Histogram and Norm Curve -Part 2

In the Part 1 I have explained some of the main statistics measure such as Minimum, Maximum, Median, Mean, First Quantile, and Third Quantile. Also, I have show how to draw them in Power BI, using R codes. (we have Boxplot as a custom visual in power BI see :https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/visual-awesomeness-unlocked-box-and-whisker-plots/ ). However, to see the data Read more about Visualizing Data Distribution in Power BI – Histogram and Norm Curve -Part 2[…]

Visualizing numeric variables in Power BI – boxplots -Part 1

In this post and next one, I am going to show how to see data distribution using some visuals like histogram, boxplot and normal distribution chart. It always important to have a holistic perspective regarding the minimum, maximum, middle, outliers of our data in one picture. One of the chart that helps us to have a Read more about Visualizing numeric variables in Power BI – boxplots -Part 1[…]
