Feed: What's New. Author: Kent Marten. The second function we added to Tableau is called MakeLine. This function is useful when you want to visualize the connection between two points on a map. If you have ever built an Origin-Destination map or worked with pick-up and drop-off datasets, MakeLine makes connecting the dots simple because you do not have to replicate rows of data or perform any pre-processing, so long as you have the latitude and longitude for the start and end of your data. A great use case for working with origins and destinations are flight routes. You will ... Read More

They often try different models and parameters, for example random forests of varying depth, linear models with different regularization rates, or deep learning models with different architectures trained using different learning rates. With all the bookkeeping involved, it is easy to miss a ... Read More
