CSA Prediction Engine

The CSA Prediction Engine API is a restful API with various endpoints that return JSON metadata containing relevance-based prediction outcomes and insights.

The CSA Prediction Engine API offers three main prediction endpoints: PSR for standard partial sample regression predictions, MAXFIT for better accuracy, and GRID for the highest optimization and precision.

• GRID identifies the optimal combination of observations and predictive variables for each prediction task.

• MAXFIT optimizes prediction accuracy by finding the combination of model parameters that yield the best (adjusted) fit.

• PSR calculates the partial sample regression model.
