Editor's Notes
- #2: Orange Canvas – Visual programming environment for data mining
- #4: Example of a complete program for classification trees.
- #5: Orange was originally a collection of C++ algorithms, then Python was added, and finally a graphical interface
- #7: Why use Orange?It has a wide selection of data visualizations that you can use to explore your data. You can prototype machine learning algorithms using Orange Canvas without investing much time in programming. And there are a number of add-ons for bioinformatics, network analysis, and text mining, plus more contributed by the community.
- #9: Screen capture from the Orange home page.
- #10: Orange Canvas is an interactive environment for visual programming. It’s open source and free to use. In this example, you can click on a widget from the palette on the left and a copy of that widget gets transferred to the canvas. On this screen we see the File widget, which reads data into the system and the Data Table widget which displays the data in a table format with the ability to sort the data by column. The widgets are connected together by clicking on the right hand side of the File widget and dragging a line to the left hand side of the Data Table widget. The convention in Orange are for inputs to be on the left and outputs on the right. Notice that the Data Table’s right hand side is dotted, meaning the output is not in use. With this simple concept, let’s see how you can explore a data set.
