Compare datasets¶

You can compare the impacts of two or more interventions or rank interventions using the Compare datasets operator.

Compare datasets operator¶

In a workflow, the Compare datasets operator takes two or more datasets or simulation results as inputs and plots them. It outputs a dataset comparison, which can be used as a dataset in other operators.

Inputs

Two or more datasets or simulation results

Tip

Use descriptive names for your datasets and simulation results. This will help you interpret the comparison.
Outputs

Dataset comparison

Add the Compare datasets operator to a workflow

Perform one of the following actions:
- On a resource or operator that outputs a dataset or simulation result, click Link > Compare datasets.
- Right-click anywhere on the workflow graph, select Data > Compare datasets, and then connect the output of two or more datasets or simulation results to the Compare datasets inputs.

Compare datasets¶

You can visually compare the impact of interventions or rank interventions based on multiple criteria.

Open the Compare datasets operator

Make sure you've connected two or more datasets or simulation results to the Compare datasets operator and then click Open.

Compare the impact of interventions¶

You can assess how different interventions influence outcomes by directly comparing their effects on key variables.

Define the comparison¶

You can set up your dataset comparison by selecting a baseline and adjusting key options to align with your analysis goals.

Define the comparison

Select Compare scenarios.
(Optional) Specify which dataset is the baseline simulation.
(Optional) Select Average treatment effect to include a summary of the overall impact of interventions in the resulting comparison tables.

Customize the comparison plot¶

You can tailor the resulting comparison plots to highlight the most relevant aspects of your interventions.

Customize the comparison plots

Select the variables you want to plot.
Select how to plot the values. You can show:
- Raw values.
- Percent change with respect to the baseline.
- Difference from the baseline.
Select the data format to be displayed in the plot:
- Default (mean)
- Quantiles (specify upper and lower bounds).

Annotate charts¶

Adding annotations to charts helps highlight key insights and guide interpretation of data. You can create annotations manually or using AI assistance.

Add annotations that call out key values and timesteps

To highlight notable findings, you can manually add annotations that label plotted values at key timesteps.

Click anywhere on the chart to add a callout.
To add more callouts without clearing the first one, hold down Shift and click a new area of the chart.

Prompt an AI assistant to add chart annotations

You can prompt an AI assistant to automatically create annotations on the variables over time and comparison charts. Annotations are labelled or unlabelled lines that mark specific timestamps or peak values. Examples of AI-assisted annotations are listed below.

Click Options .

Describe the annotations you want to add and press Enter.

Draw a vertical line at day 100

Draw a line at the peak S after calibration

Draw a horizontal line at the peak of default configuration Susceptible after calibration. Label it as "important"

Draw a vertical line at x is 10. Don't add the label

```{ .text .wrap } Draw a line at x = 40 only for ensemble after calibration

Display options¶

You can customize the appearance of your charts to enhance readability and organization of the results.

Access additional chart settings

To access additional options for each chart:

Click Options .

Change the chart scale

By default, charts are shown in linear scale. You can switch to log scale to view large ranges, exponential trends, and improve visibility of small variations.

Select or clear Use log scale.

Hide in node

The variables you choose to plot appear in the results panel and as thumbnails on the Compare datasets operator in the workflow. You can hide the thumbnail preview to minimize the space the Compare datasets node takes up.

Select Hide in node.

Change parameter colors

You can change the color of any variable to make your charts easier to read.

Click the color picker and choose a new color from the palette or use the eye dropper to select a color shown on your screen.
