What does the Distribution node essentially visualize?

The Distribution node is designed to visualize the frequencies of categorical fields within a dataset. It provides a clear representation of how many times each unique category appears, which helps in understanding the distribution of the data across different categories. This visualization can highlight the prevalence of certain categories, identify potential outliers, and allow analysts to quickly assess the balance or imbalance within categorical variables.

By focusing on the frequencies, users can make informed decisions regarding further data processing or modeling. This type of analysis is especially useful in data exploration phases where understanding categorical distributions can significantly impact the interpretation of results and the selection of modeling techniques.
