Create the Exploration

This example assumes that you have already signed in to SAS Visual Analytics and you are on the home page.
Here are the steps to create the exploration:
  1. From the home page, click Data Explorer. This opens the explorer and enables you to open a recent exploration or to create a new exploration.
  2. Click Select a Data Source, located under Start a new exploration, to create a new project. A window appears that enables you to select the data source for this exploration.
  3. Select the data source that corresponds to SASHELP.HEART. Click Open.
  4. By default, the exploration is named Exploration 1, which is displayed in the upper left corner of the explorer. Before continuing with the example, rename the exploration by saving it.
  5. Click Filethen selectSave from the main menu. This opens the Save As window. In the SAS Folders pane, navigate to a location where you have Write permission. In the Name field, enter Heart Study, and click Save.
    Typically, you can save your work in My Folder.
By default, an automatic visualization is immediately available for usage. However, in this exploration, a decision tree is created in order to derive a leaf ID variable. The leaf ID variable is then used in the Linear Regression model and Generalized Linear Model.
