Amazon Exam MLS-C01 Topic 1 Question 88 Discussion

SageMaker Data Wrangler is a feature of SageMaker Studio that provides an end-to-end solution for importing, preparing, transforming, featurizing, and analyzing data. Data Wrangler includes built-in analyses that help generate visualizations and data insights in a few clicks. One of the built-in analyses is the Quick Model visualization, which can be used to quickly evaluate the data and produce importance scores for each feature. A feature importance score indicates how useful a feature is at predicting a target label. The feature importance score is between [0, 1] and a higher number indicates that the feature is more important to the whole dataset. The Quick Model visualization uses a random forest model to calculate the feature importance for each feature using the Gini importance method. This method measures the total reduction in node impurity (a measure of how well a node separates the classes) that is attributed to splitting on a particular feature. The ML developer can use the Quick Model visualization to obtain the importance scores for each feature of the dataset and use them to feature engineer the dataset. This solution requires the least development effort compared to the other options.
