Testing the predictive capability

Another useful feature of the model builder is that it provides you with the ability to easily test the predictive ability of a deployed model, without having to do any programming.

To test a deployed model from the deployment details page, perform the following steps:

  1. First, in the Test area of the deployment details page, there will be a simple input form (see the following screenshot), where you can type in some values for the feature columns: GENDER, AGE, MARITAL_STATUS, and PROFESSION (you can ignore the other fields in the form):

  1. Next, click on Predict to create a prediction based upon the values that you just entered and the model you have built. This will be the prediction of how much money a customer with the entered attributes is likely to spend on a trip to the store. The following screenshot shows the result of a test. The predicted amount of spend is $118.81:

As the documentation suggests, you can take additional value combinations from the training file and enter them into the input data form to do additional testing.
