1.3 Creating Models with 1-Click

To create a model in BigML you have two options: either the 1-click option which uses the default values for all available configuration options, or you can tune the parameters in advanced by using the configuration options explained in section 1.4 . You can also create a BigML model either from a dataset or from a Clustering. Creating BigML models from clusters will be explained with more detail in the Cluster Analysis with the BigML Dashboard document [ 5 ] . This section will guide you through the process of creating BigML models from a dataset with just 1-click.

The BigML unique 1-click feature provides a convenient way to quickly train a model from a dataset. The 1-click model menu option is available in the 1-click action menu. (See Figure 1.8 .)

Alternatively, you can select the 1-click model option in the 1-click action menu from the dataset list view. (See Figure 1.9 .)

Either option builds a new model using default values for all available configuration options (see section 1.4 ). This can give you a quick starting point to understand how your model behaves and how it can be improved.

Creating a model may take a variable time, depending on how big your dataset is, your subscription plan, etc. Once your BigML model is ready, it will be automatically displayed on your BigML Dashboard and you will be able to explore it through BigML sophisticated visualizations (see section 1.5 ), and using it for evaluations (see Chapter 7 ) or predictions (see section 1.7 .)
