Concept: Factor and Response

Assigning roles to variables in your data set determines how Dataiku DSS uses them in statistics cards.

In a bivariate analysis card, for example, if you assign a variable alcohol as a Response, and the variables pH and sulphates as Factors, the factors are used separately to explain the change in values of the response. The factors are plotted on the x axis and the response variable on the y axis.
