What is Predictive Modeling?
Predictive Data Modeling
Analytics professionals frequently feed predictive models with data from the following sources:
Parameter
Parametric Models
Non-Parametric Models

The Predictive Modeling Process
To create and train a model:
Practical Classification Example
Teachable Machine
New Image Project
Once the training process is finished, you can test the model by giving it an image from the test dataset, either from the Positive class or the Negative class and evaluate the output.
Teachable Machine
As you can see, the model correctly classified the image in the Positive class with 100% certainty,
To test and evaluate a model:
