Generating a predictive model template

When you create a predictive model, you import the deployment of a machine learning model from Watson™ Machine Learning or Open Prediction Service.

1. Open the decision service that you want to work in.
2. Open the Predictive models tab and click Create.
   The predictive model creation wizard automatically opens in 20.0.2. However, in 20.0.3, you must follow these steps to launch the wizard:
   1. Enter a name for the predictive model and click Create.
   2. When the predictive model is open, click the Connect button in the details panel on the left.
3. Select the provider where the machine learning model that you want to use is stored from the drop-down list.
   The list of deployments that are available from this provider is displayed.
4. Expand the machine learning model that you want to use and select the deployment that you need to make your prediction.
5. Click Next to define the input parameters that are needed to make the prediction.
   • If an input schema was automatically generated by the provider, you can edit it if necessary. You can update or delete existing parameters, and add new ones.
   • If no input schema was generated, you can:
     • Work in the Form tab and click Add to add parameters.
     • Work in the JSON tab and directly enter a JSON schema.
     • Or use a JSON payload to generate a pre-populated schema by clicking Generate from payload and pasting a JSON payload. The generated schema is editable.
6. Click Next to test the model invocation.
   This step is optional and allows you to make sure that the model returns the expected results when called. To test your model:
   1. Enter values for each input parameter.
   2. Click Run.
      If the model does not return the expected results, you can go back to the previous step to edit the input schema as required.
7. Click Next to define the output values of the prediction. To define the output schema, you can:
   • Work in the Form tab and click Add to add values.
   • Work in the JSON tab and directly enter a JSON schema.
   • Use a JSON payload to generate a pre-populated schema by clicking Generate from payload and pasting a JSON payload. The generated schema is editable.
   • Or use the output of the invocation test to generate a pre-populated schema. The generated schema is editable. This option is available only if you tested the model invocation.
8. Click Create.
