Creating experiments

You can create new experiments in personal spaces or shared spaces for collaboration.

Requirements and permissions

To learn more about the user requirements for working with ML experiments, see Working with experiments.

Creating experiments

You create experiments from the Analytics activity center.

Do the following:

1. Go to the Create page of the Analytics activity center and select ML experiment.

   Tip note

   Other ways to create ML experiments:

   • Go to Predict and select ML experiment. Alternatively, in Catalog, click Create new > ML experiment.

   • In the Analytics activity center, click on a data product and select Use in > ML experiment.

2. Enter a name and space, and, optionally, a description and tags.

3. Click Create.

   The Open experiment checkbox is selected by default. If you deselect this checkbox, you must open the experiment manually before proceeding to the next step.

4. Select a dataset to use in your experiment. You can choose from:

   • Datasets: Select a dataset in any space you can access. See Tips and guidelines for uploading and selecting datasets.

   • Data products: Select a dataset from an active data product you can access. For more information about data products, see Creating data products.

The next step in the process is to configure the experiment. See Configuring experiments.

Tips and guidelines for uploading and selecting datasets

• Datasets can be uploaded via the Create page in the Analytics activity center, and are visible in the catalog. You can also upload a new dataset directly into the catalog from the experiment's dataset selection page. To do so, click Upload file and choose the file to upload.

• Any flat file that can be uploaded and profiled in Qlik Cloud is supported for use in Qlik Predict.

  For multi-table files such as Microsoft Excel files with multiple sheets, only the first table will be imported. If data profiling fails for a table (for example, if it is empty), the file is not supported.

Editing experiment name and other details

Do the following:

1. Click by the experiment name.

2. Click Edit details.

3. Edit the name or other details.

Deleting experiments

You can delete an experiment from the catalog.
