## Available tools

All these tools can be used to explore your data and generate reports. You can use them to compare different datasets and generate reports for each one of them. You can also use them to generate reports for a single dataset. These processes can also run in parallel.

### [1. SweetViz](https://github.com/fbdesignpro/sweetviz)

1. You first choose a datset from /DATA folder, it will automatically set the target column to the last column of the dataset. You can change the target column by clicking on the dropdown menu.
2. You can choose to generate a report for this dataset by clicking on the "Generate Report" button or you can add another dataset by clicking on the "Compare with another dataset" button.
3. You can now open the report or download the html file

> For better results, you should use datasets with same columns.

### [2. YData Profiling](https://docs.profiling.ydata.ai/4.6/)

1. You first choose a datset from /DATA folder.
2. You can choose to generate a report for this dataset by clicking on the "Generate Report" button or you can add another dataset by clicking on the "Compare with another dataset" button.
3. You can now open the report or download the html file

> For better results, you should use datasets with same columns.

### [3. D-Tale](https://github.com/man-group/dtale)

* You choose a datset from /DATA folder and click on the "Generate report" button.
* You can click on the "Open D-Tale" button to open the D-Tale dashboard.
* You can click on the X button to close the D-Tale dashboard.
* You can click on "Add new D-Tale analysis" to add another dataset.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://medomicslab.gitbook.io/medomics-docs/tutorials/design/exploratory-module.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
