DataExplorer

Background

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is the initial and an important phase of data analysis. Through this phase, analysts/modelers will have a first look of the data, and thus generate relevant hypothesis and decide next steps. However, the EDA process could be a hassle at times. This R package aims to automate most of data handling and visualization, so that users could focus on studying the data and extracting insights.
