Link analysis allows you to establish relationships and view connections between related data elements. This lets you make sense of associations between people, places, events, and other entities. The relationships can be described by degrees, closeness, and betweenness.  A link map incorporates both the ability to see spider lines to show connected locations or, when it shows directionality, a flow map.  Here are some examples where link charts and link maps can be useful:

Regression analysis, scatter plot matrix, and make predictions.  These three new capabilities are most powerful when used together within a workflow.

Regression analysis allows you to make predictions.  It’s one of the most standard and widely used statistical and regression models that analysts adhere to.  Insights allows you to create a scatterplot matrix of variables as part of the regression model building, to help you quickly determine a good model for explaining a dependent variable.  Then, Insights maps the correlation output statistics, providing a powerful way to view results.  Regressions models built in Insights can easily be used to make predictions of your dependent variable, using a simple drag and drop experience.  Here are some examples where regression could provide value to you:
