Advanced Analytics Integration with R and Python

Advanced Analytics Integration is a feature that allows users to perform advanced data analysis and predictive modeling tasks within the Qlik Sense environment. With Advanced Analytics Integration, users can use popular statistical analysis and machine learning tools, such as R and Python, to build predictive models, perform data mining tasks, and gain insights from their data.

Data fetched from third-party systems using the Advanced Analytics connection is combined with data handled by the Qlik Associative Engine.

The workflow for Advanced Analytics Integration is illustrated in the following diagram:
