From the evidence, I see AESTDY and AEENDY are VARCHAR (not numeric) and contain '..MISSING..' values, which caused the previous cast error. I should focus on the truly numeric columns: AESEQ (BIGINT), and the temporal columns that can be parsed. I'll also examine categorical relationships through co-occurrence patterns. Let me start by computing correlations between the numeric columns and examining relationships between key categorical dimensions.",
