• Key Concepts: 
  A bipartite graph is a type of graph used in SAP Predictive Analytics to represent relationships between two sets of entities. It is composed of two sets of nodes, each representing a different type of entity, and edges connecting the nodes. The nodes in one set are connected to the nodes in the other set, but not to each other. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Predictive Analytics, bipartite graphs are used to represent relationships between entities such as customers and products. The nodes in one set represent customers, while the nodes in the other set represent products. The edges connecting the nodes represent the relationships between customers and products. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using bipartite graphs in SAP Predictive Analytics, it is important to ensure that the data used to create the graph is accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that the relationships between customers and products are accurately represented.
