Orange: Data Mining
What´s Orange?
It is an open source tool for data analysis and visualization where data mining is done through
visual programming or Python code. It can be used through a nice and intuitive user interface or,
for more advanced users, as a module for the Python programming language.

Interactive Data Visualization Visual Programing
Add-ons Extend Functionality Orange in the cloud
Interactive and data visualization:
Perform simple data analysis with clever data visualization. Explore statistical distributions, box
plots and scatter plots, or dive deeper with decision trees, hierarchical clustering, heatmaps,
MDS and linear projections. Even your multidimensional data can become sensible in 2D,
especially with clever attribute ranking and selections.
Visual Programing
Interactive data exploration for rapid qualitative analysis with clean visualizations. Graphic user
interface allows you to focus on exploratory data analysis instead of coding, while clever defaults
make fast prototyping of a data analysis workflow extremely easy. Place widgets on the canvas,
connect them, load your datasets and harvest the insight!
Add-ons Extend Functionality
Use various add-ons available within Orange to mine data from external data sources, perform
natural language processing and text mining, conduct network analysis, infer frequent itemset
and do association rules mining. Additionally, bioinformaticians and molecular biologists can use
Orange to rank genes by their differential expression and perform enrichment analysis.
Orange in the cloud
Use Orange remotely by running it on a remote server as a docker container.
Workflows in Orange
Orange workflows consist of components that read, process and visualize data “Widgets”, this
Widgets communicate by sending information along with a communication channel. An output
from one widget is used as input to another.
