Important concepts that are relevant when using Expert Analytics.

You can access components from the Designer view of the Predict room. After you have added components to the analysis editor, the status icon of a component allows you to identify its state.
An analysis is a series of different components connected together in a particular sequence with connectors, which define the direction of the data flow.
A model is a reusable component created by training an algorithm using historical data.
In-Database (In-DB) is an analysis execution mode in which data processing is performed in the SAP HANA database with the use of data mining capabilities. In this mode, the Predictive Analytics desktop orchestrates execution on the SAP HANA side, and minimal data for reporting is downloaded to the client. This mode can be used to process large data sets. SAP HANA supports data mining through R integration, SAP Predictive Analysis Library (PAL) and SAP Automated Predictive Library (APL). This type of analysis is also referred to as online analysis.
In-Process (In-Proc) is an analysis execution mode in which the data processing is performed by taking data out of the database into the predictive process space. In this mode, you cannot use SAP HANA PAL algorithms for analysis. However, you can work with R and SAP algorithms. This type of analysis is also referred to as Out-DB or offline analysis.
