Use Advanced Analytics Functions
Advanced analytics are statistical functions that you apply to enhance the data displayed in visualizations.
The Analytics area in the Data Panel contains standard analytics functions (for example, Clusters and Trend Line). You can use analytics functions as they are, or use them to create your own calculated columns that reference statistical scripts.
