Building and training a binary prediction ML model in Power BI

You’re finally ready to build and train your first ML model in Power BI! We will start with a binary prediction model to predict whether damage happened when wildlife struck an airplane. As discussed in Chapter 1, a binary prediction model will make a yes/no prediction for a given row of data containing columns that are the predictive features. The query that you built in Chapter 7 is in your ML Queries dataflow and is named Predict Damage.

You'll build your prediction model as follows:

1. Create a new dataflow in your Power BI workspace by selecting New | Dataflow.
2. Select Link tables from other dataflows.
3. Ensure you are signed in to your organizational account and select Next.
4. Expand your Power BI workspace folder, expand the ML Queries dataflow, select Predict Damage, and click Transform data.
5. Save and close the new dataflow.
6. Name the new dataflow Predict Damage ML.
7. Refresh...
