Abstract

Nowadays, modern visualization and decision support platforms provide advanced and interactive tools for data wrangling, in order to facilitate data analysis. Nonetheless, it is a tedious process that requires a deep experience in data transformation. In this paper, we propose an automated data wrangling method, based on a genetic algorithm, that helps to obtain simpler regression trees.
