use scatter plots, histograms, box plots, and other visualization tools to analyze your
data.
3. Preprocessing data: This tutorial will teach you how to preprocess your data before
using it to train a model. You'll learn how to handle missing data, normalize and
standardize features, and perform feature selection.

Preprocessing data is an essential step in data analysis and machine learning. Orange provides
several widgets for data preprocessing, which can help you to clean, transform, and normalize your
data. Here are some of the preprocessing widgets in Orange:

1. Data Table: The Data Table widget displays the dataset and allows you to visualize and explore its
structure. You can sort, filter, and search the data to identify any missing values or inconsistencies.
2. Select Columns: The Select Columns widget allows you to select specific columns from the dataset
and remove the ones that are not relevant to your analysis.

Here are the steps to use the Select Columns widget in Orange:

1. Import your data: Use the "File" widget to import your data into Orange.
2. Open the Select Columns widget: Drag and drop the Select Columns widget from the "Data"
category to the canvas.
3. Connect the dataset to the Select Columns widget: Drag the output arrow of the dataset widget and
connect it to the input arrow of the Select Columns widget.
4. Select the columns: In the Select Columns widget, click on the "Select" button to see a list of all the
columns in the dataset. You can select or deselect individual columns by checking or unchecking the
corresponding checkboxes.
5. Rename the columns (optional): You can rename the selected columns by clicking on the "Edit"
button and entering new names in the "Name" field.
6. Output the selected columns: Connect the output arrow of the Select Columns widget to the next
widget in your analysis pipeline.

By using the Select Columns widget in Orange, you can select only the relevant columns from your
dataset and remove the ones that are not needed for your analysis. This can help you to reduce the
dimensionality of your data and improve the performance of your machine learning models. The
Select Columns widget is easy to use and can save you a lot of time when dealing with large
datasets.
3. Edit Domain: The Edit Domain widget allows you to modify the attributes of your data, such as
changing the type of a variable, renaming a column, or creating new features.

Here are the steps to use the Edit Domain widget in Orange:

1. Import your data: Use the "File" widget to import your data into Orange.
2. Open the Edit Domain widget: Drag and drop the Edit Domain widget from the "Data" category to
the canvas.

connect it to the input arrow of the Edit Domain widget.
4. Modify the domain: In the Edit Domain widget, you can modify the attributes of your data, such as
changing the type of a variable, renaming a column, or creating new features.
5. Rename a column: To rename a column, click on the "Edit" button next to the column name and
enter a new name in the "Name" field.
6. Change the type of a variable: To change the type of a variable, click on the "Edit" button next to the
column name and select a new type from the drop-down menu. Orange supports several types of
variables, such as continuous, discrete, time, and string.

widget and enter a name for the new feature. You can then define the formula for the new feature
using a simple syntax.
8. Output the modified data: Connect the output arrow of the Edit Domain widget to the next widget in
your analysis pipeline.

By using the Edit Domain widget in Orange, you can customize the structure and content of your
data to suit your analysis needs. This can help you to transform your data into a format that is more
suitable for machine learning algorithms or data visualization tools. The Edit Domain widget is a
powerful tool that allows you to manipulate your data in a flexible and intuitive way.

4. Impute: The Impute widget allows you to handle missing values in your dataset. You can replace
missing values with the mean, median, or most frequent value of that column.
5. Normalize: The Normalize widget allows you to scale your data so that all variables have the same
range. This is important for algorithms that are sensitive to the scale of the variables, such as k-
Nearest Neighbors or Support Vector Machines.
6. Feature Constructor: The Feature Constructor widget allows you to create new features from existing
ones. For example, you can calculate the ratio between two columns, or create a new column based
on a mathematical formula.
7. Discretize: The Discretize widget allows you to transform continuous variables into categorical ones.
This is useful when you want to capture non-linear relationships between variables or when you want
to simplify the analysis.

By using these preprocessing widgets in Orange, you can prepare your data for analysis and improve
the accuracy of your machine learning models. Orange provides a user-friendly interface and a wide

load workflows. You can also use the buttons to undo or redo your actions, zoom in or out on the
canvas, and switch between different workflow views.
4. Data Table: The Data Table widget is used to import, view, and manipulate data. It allows you to load
data from various sources, such as CSV, Excel, or SQL, and perform various operations on it, such as
filtering, sorting, and aggregating.
5. Visualization widgets: The visualization widgets are used to create visual representations of your
data, such as scatter plots, histograms, and heatmaps. These widgets allow you to explore your data
visually and identify patterns and relationships.
