Creating SPSS Modeler flows

Creating SPSS Modeler flows

With SPSS Modeler flows, you can quickly develop predictive models that use business expertise and deploy them into business operations to improve decision making. Designed around the long-established SPSS Modeler client software and the industry-standard CRISP-DM model it uses, the flows interface supports the entire data mining process, from data to better business results.

 

SPSS Modeler offers various modeling methods that are taken from machine learning, artificial intelligence, and statistics. You can use the methods available on the node palette to derive new information from your data and to develop predictive models. Each method has certain strengths and is best suited for particular types of problems.

Using the Flow Editor, you prepare or shape data, train or deploy a model, or transform data and export it back to a database table or a file in Cloud Object Storage. To create a model, add the Modeler flow asset type to your project, then select SPSS as the flow type. Running an SPSS Modeler flow consumes capacity unit hours. For more information, see Watson Studio environments compute usage.
