Explore a First-Order Insight for a Numeric Variable

When you select a numeric explanatory variable, Einstein displays a bar chart with the numeric variable along the horizontal axis.

The following example shows a descriptive insight with a numeric explanatory variable.

Descriptive bar chart, showing two numbered elements

To help orient you to what this chart reveals, refer to the headline on the left. In the chart, generally look for blue bars, starting from left to right.

Chart Axes

Axis Description
Horizontal

Explanatory variable (number) for this insight. Each bar represents a value (or bucket) of the explanatory variable. Values are sorted numerically from left to right.

A numeric variable with low cardinality (10 or fewer observations) is converted to a text variable. Einstein Discovery displays this value along the x-axis rather than in a range (bucket).
Vertical Outcome variable for this model.

Chart Elements

Number Element Description
1 Global Average The orange line represents the global average of all variables.
2 Bucket of the Explanatory Variable

Each vertical bar represents a value or bucket (range) of the explanatory variable.

  • Blue indicates a bucket that is statistically significant.
  • Gray indicates a bucket that is statistically insignificant.
  • The height of the bar shows the average outcome variable for this bucket relative to the global average.

Hover-over details:

  • Explanatory Variable and bucket
  • Total: Sum of all outcome variables for this bucket.
  • Count: Number of observations in this bucket.
  • Difference from Average: How much this bucket’s average differs from the global average (average - global average).
  • Outcome Variable: Average outcome variable for this bucket (total / count).
  • Global Average: Global average of all variables.
