Overview of this book

IBM Watson provides fast, intelligent insight in ways that the human brain simply can't match. Through eight varied projects, this book will help you explore the computing and analytical capabilities of IBM Watson. The book begins by refreshing your knowledge of IBM Watson's basic data preparation capabilities, such as adding and exploring data to prepare it for being applied to models. The projects covered in this book can be developed for different industries, including banking, healthcare, media, and security. These projects will enable you to develop an AI mindset and guide you in developing smart data-driven projects, including automating supply chains, analyzing sentiment in social media datasets, and developing personalized recommendations. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to develop solutions for process automation, and you'll be able to make better data-driven decisions to deliver an excellent customer experience.

Displaying top predictors and predictive strength

Pattern recognition is the process of taking in raw data, and applying actions on it, such as classifying the input data into classes based on key features. With this in mind, in this chapter's exercise, we want to be able to organize various key fields within the combine data into positional (position) groups. In other words, group player height, weight (and/or other physical characteristics of the athlete), as well as combine drill scores into position groups. Perhaps we can find the characteristics for a WR group?

Once we have our prediction displayed in Watson Analytics, go through following steps:

  1. We can click on the View All option (near the upper right of the page shown next) to display the charts with the ranking of the top predictors and their respective predictive strength value:
