Analyzing data and working with models
You can use data analysis and model building tools and services in Cloud Pak for Data to find insights and train or solve AI models.
The tools that you can use in projects depend on which services that are installed:
Analyzing data and building models with Watson Studio, Watson Machine Learning, and other supplemental services
You can analyze data and build models with the Watson Studio service. Supplemental services to Watson Studio, such as Watson Machine Learning, add tools and compute resources to projects.
Service The Watson Studio, Watson Machine Learning, and other supplemental services are not available by default. An administrator must install these services on the IBM Cloud Pak for Data platform. To determine whether a service is installed, open the Services catalog and check whether the service is enabled.
To start analyzing data with Watson Studio:
-
Create or open a project:
- To create a project, choose Projects > All projects from the main menu and then click New project on the Projects page. See Creating a project.
- To open an existing project, choose Projects > All projects from the main menu and then click the name of the project.
-
Add data to the project. Alternatively, you can add data from within a tool.
-
Analyze data or build models. Find out how to choose the right tool in Watson Studio.
You can use the data analytics and model building methods that are listed in the following table with Watson Studio plus the other listed services.
