Chapter 3: Fundamental Workflow – Data to Deployable Model
In this chapter, we will walk through a minimal model-building workflow for H2O at scale. We will refer to this as the fundamental workflow because it omits the wide range of functionality and user choices to build accurate, trusted models while nevertheless touching on the main steps.
The fundamental workflow will serve as a basis to build your understanding of H2O technology and coding steps so that in the next part of the book you can dive fully into advanced techniques to build state-of-the-art models.
To develop the fundamental workflow, we will cover the following main topics in this chapter:
- Use case and data overview
- The fundamental workflow
- Variation points – alternatives and extensions to the fundamental workflow
