Exploring relationships of numeric feature variables and a categorical target

Exploring relationships of numeric feature variables and a categorical target

by Lily Oneil -

What widget could I use to explore relationships between numeric feature variables and a categorical target variable? 

Not sure if my question is related to the one on counting frequencies of categorical variables manually with a "Pivot Table" widget.

Orange crashes my laptop when I use "Feature Statistics".  The "Distributions" widget allows me to explore categorical feature variables and the categorical target variable. My dataset has 194 subjects and 55 variables. Thanks!!

Hi Lily,

Sorry to hear that Orange crashes when you're using "Feature Statistics". Try using a "Box Plot" widget and choosing your categorical target in "Subgroups" and numeric features (one by one) in "Variables". Based on that you will be able to assume if there is any association between the variables (i.e. if there is a significant difference in means).
