Which method offers the quickest analysis of employee attrition data after uploading it to Oracle Analytics Cloud?

Using the Explain option on the attrition attribute allows for the quickest analysis of employee attrition data in Oracle Analytics Cloud. This method leverages the built-in capabilities of Oracle Analytics to provide immediate insights into the key factors driving attrition.

When you apply the Explain function to an attribute, the system automatically analyzes the data and generates visualizations and explanations that highlight significant trends, patterns, and correlations. This is particularly useful for quickly identifying the main contributors to employee attrition without the need for complex modeling or extensive data manipulation.

In contrast, forecasting attrition is a more time-consuming process that involves statistical modeling and prediction, which takes longer to set up and execute. Outlier identification is focused on detecting exceptions in data which may not directly provide insight into overall attrition drivers. Similarly, cluster analysis requires a deeper dive into the data to segment employees into groups based on characteristics, which can also be more time-intensive. Therefore, the Explain option stands out as the most efficient method for immediate insights into employee attrition data.
