Tool Description#

An important step in data analysis is data exploration, to achieve a betterunderstanding of the data. The Exploratory Pattern Analytics (EPA)tool works on prepared/preprocessed tabular data. It providesexplanatory patterns, i.e., simple rules between some parameters(e.g., temperature, pressure) that are predictive for a certaintarget parameter (e.g., scrap rate). This provides important insightsenhancing data understanding.For example, it could be used to better understand why certain known outliers occurin process data.
