Drug treatment - exploratory graphs
In this example, imagine you're a medical researcher compiling data for a study. You've collected data about a set of patients, all of whom suffered from the same illness. During their course of treatment, each patient responded to one of five medications. Part of your job is to use data mining to find out which drug might be appropriate for a future patient with the same illness.
