Users can protect their data using our desktop application and upload an anonymized version for processing.
2. Choose data to analyse
Users can define which variable they are looking to predict. For example in an urban data set, users could try to predict incidence of violent crime and identify causation variables.

DataX will suggest changes to your data and help you optimize the data for the best and most accurate results.
