Creating a Predictive Scenario

Create a predictive scenario and work with one or more predictive models.

Context

You create a predictive scenario that corresponds to the type of information you need to answer a business question. The predictive scenario is where you create and store one or several predictive models.
Tip
You can open an existing predictive scenario from two places:
  • From the side navigation, select Predictive Scenarios. On the Predictive Scenarios start page, go to the Recent Files section, where you can see the last 25 files you worked on.

  • From the side navigation, select Files. On the Files page, you can go to a public, private, or workspace folder to find your files.

Procedure

  1. From the Predictive Scenarios start page, select the type of predictive scenario that best fits your business question.
    Tip

    You can create a predictive scenario from the Files page by choosing Start of the navigation path (Create) Next navigation step Predictive ScenariosEnd of the navigation path

    The New Predictive Scenario dialog appears. It lists files and folders in the Files repository. If you already have a user folder, you can store your predictive scenario there, or you can create a new folder.

  2. Select a location (for example, public, private, or workspace folder) to save the file.
  3. Enter a meaningful and unique name and an optional description. The description can provide the business intent of the predictive scenario, such as a description of the problem the predictive scenario is trying to solve. For example, predicting who will buy a product, or creating groups of customers.
  4. Select OK.

    Your predictive scenario is created and the Settings pane opens automatically. The pane contains the parameters and options that defines your predictive scenarios first predictive model. The settings available depend on the type of predictive scenario you select.
