Creates an Amazon Forecast dataset. The information about the dataset that you provide helps Forecast understand how to consume the data for model training. This includes the following:
- DataFrequency - How frequently your historical time-series data is collected.
- Domain and DatasetType - Each dataset has an associated dataset domain and a type within the domain. Amazon Forecast provides a list of predefined domains and types within each domain. For each unique dataset domain and type within the domain, Amazon Forecast requires your data to include a minimum set of predefined fields.
- Schema - A schema specifies the fields in the dataset, including the field name and data type.
After creating a dataset, you import your training data into it and add the dataset to a dataset group. You use the dataset group to create a predictor. For more information, see
Importing datasets.
To get a list of all your datasets, use the
ListDatasets operation.
For example Forecast datasets, see the
Amazon Forecast Sample GitHub repository.
The
Status of a dataset must be
ACTIVE before you can import training data. Use the
DescribeDataset operation to get the status.
