Choose candidate target variable(s) Y
EFS-2 Order: #2 Explore Data and Find Signal Has Dependencies
Updated 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Guidance
From the Framing Brief's questions, pick the concrete column(s) that would answer them if you understood what drove them — this is Y. Note whether Y is continuous (→ regression), categorical/binary (→ classification), or whether there is no single Y and the task is genuinely unsupervised (→ clustering, handled in ACE).
