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 will create and store one or several predictive models. Refer to Related Information for a full description of the types of predictive scenarios available.

Procedure

Select Main Menu Create Predictive Scenario .

Note
You can also create a predictive scenario from the Files page by clicking the Create icon in the My Files menu bar.
Select the type of predictive scenario that best fits your business question.

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.
Browse to and select a folder for the predictive scenario, and then enter a meaningful and unique name.
Enter a description, if needed. It should describe the business intent of the predictive scenario; for example, what problem is it trying to solve? Is its goal to predict who will buy a product? Or is it creating groups of customers?
Click OK.

Your predictive scenario is created and automatically opens the Settings pane. The pane contains the parameters and options that you'll use to define its first predictive model. The settings available depend on the type of predictive scenario, and these are described in Related Information.
