Open Data Source — Text File (Data Import Wizard)

Context

  • For machine learning, BayesiaLab requires a dataset to be in a single data table.
  • If not imported from a database (see /bayesialab/user-guide/data/open-data-source/database) data tables need to be in a plain text format, e.g., a comma or tab-delimited file.
  • The most common arrangement of the to-be-imported data table is:
    • Variable names are contained in the header row.
    • Columns contain the values of the variables.
    • Rows represent observations or records.
⚠️

Binary files, Excel spreadsheets, SPSS, Stata, or SAS files must be converted into a text format, e.g., CSV, before importing them into BayesiaLab.

Usage

  • Select Menu > Data > Open Data Source, which prompts you to choose your data file from a local source.
  • Upon selection, the Data Import Wizard launches.
