To utilize a database in a predictive model, what must be defined?

To utilize a database in a predictive model, it is essential to define the data source under Database Settings. This step is critical as it establishes the connection to the data repository that holds the relevant data to be analyzed for predictive modeling. By specifying the data source, the model can retrieve and utilize the correct data for analysis, patterns identification, and prediction generation.

This ensures that the model receives the up-to-date and relevant data it requires to produce accurate insights. Defining the data source effectively creates the foundation upon which the predictive model can operate, making it a vital component in the process of model development and deployment.

While other choices may involve important aspects of working with data, they do not specifically lay the groundwork for connecting the predictive model to the necessary data needed for its functioning and effectiveness.
