Predict

Generates a prediction for the observation using the specified ML Model.

Note: Not all response parameters will be populated. Whether a response parameter is populated depends on the type of model requested.

Request Syntax

Response Syntax


{
   "Prediction": { 
      "details": { 
         "string" : "string" 
      },
      "predictedLabel": "string",

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

Prediction

The output from a Predict operation:

Details - Contains the following attributes: DetailsAttributes.PREDICTIVE_MODEL_TYPE - REGRESSION | BINARY | MULTICLASS DetailsAttributes.ALGORITHM - SGD
PredictedLabel - Present for either a BINARY or MULTICLASS MLModel request.
PredictedScores - Contains the raw classification score corresponding to each label.
PredictedValue - Present for a REGRESSION MLModel request.

Type: Prediction object

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

InternalServerException

An error on the server occurred when trying to process a request.

HTTP Status Code: 500

InvalidInputException

An error on the client occurred. Typically, the cause is an invalid input value.

HTTP Status Code: 400

LimitExceededException

The subscriber exceeded the maximum number of operations. This exception can occur when listing objects such as DataSource.

HTTP Status Code: 400

PredictorNotMountedException

The exception is thrown when a predict request is made to an unmounted MLModel.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ResourceNotFoundException

A specified resource cannot be located.

HTTP Status Code: 400
