• Key Concepts: 
  Community detection is a feature of SAP Predictive Analytics that allows users to identify groups of related data points. It uses algorithms to detect patterns in data and group them into clusters, or communities, based on their similarities. This can be used to identify customer segments, product categories, or any other type of grouping.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use community detection, users must first select the data they want to analyze. This can be done by selecting a dataset from the SAP Predictive Analytics library or by uploading a dataset from an external source. Once the data is selected, users can then select the community detection algorithm they want to use and configure its parameters. Finally, users can run the algorithm and view the results.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using community detection, it is important to select an appropriate algorithm for the data being analyzed. Different algorithms may produce different results, so it is important to experiment with different algorithms to find the best one for the task at hand. Additionally, it is important to configure the parameters of the algorithm correctly in order to get accurate results.
