=== Create {dfanalytics-jobs} API

beta::[]

Creates a new {dfanalytics-job}.
The API accepts a +{request}+ object as a request and returns a +{response}+.

[id="{upid}-{api}-request"]
==== Request

A +{request}+ requires the following argument:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-request]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The configuration of the {dfanalytics-job} to create

[id="{upid}-{api}-config"]
==== {dfanalytics-cap} configuration

The `DataFrameAnalyticsConfig` object contains all the details about the {dfanalytics-job}
configuration and contains the following arguments:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-config]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The {dfanalytics-job} ID
<2> The source index and query from which to gather data
<3> The destination index
<4> The analysis to be performed
<5> The fields to be included in / excluded from the analysis
<6> The memory limit for the model created as part of the analysis process
<7> Optionally, a human-readable description
<8> The maximum number of threads to be used by the analysis. Defaults to 1.

[id="{upid}-{api}-query-config"]

==== SourceConfig

The index and the query from which to collect data.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-source-config]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Constructing a new DataFrameAnalyticsSource
<2> The source index
<3> The query from which to gather the data. If query is not set, a `match_all` query is used by default.
<4> Runtime mappings that will be added to the destination index mapping.
<5> Source filtering to select which fields will exist in the destination index.

===== QueryConfig

The query with which to select data from the source.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-query-config]
--------------------------------------------------

==== DestinationConfig

The index to which data should be written by the {dfanalytics-job}.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-dest-config]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Constructing a new DataFrameAnalyticsDest
<2> The destination index

==== Analysis

The analysis to be performed.
Currently, the supported analyses include: +OutlierDetection+, +Classification+, +Regression+.

===== Outlier detection

+OutlierDetection+ analysis can be created in one of two ways:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-outlier-detection-default]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Constructing a new OutlierDetection object with default strategy to determine outliers

or
["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-outlier-detection-customized]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Constructing a new OutlierDetection object
<2> The method used to perform the analysis
<3> Number of neighbors taken into account during analysis
<4> The min `outlier_score` required to compute feature influence
<5> Whether to compute feature influence
<6> The proportion of the data set that is assumed to be outlying prior to outlier detection
<7> Whether to apply standardization to feature values

===== Classification

+Classification+ analysis requires to set which is the +dependent_variable+ and
has a number of other optional parameters:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests-file}[{api}-classification]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Constructing a new Classification builder object with the required dependent variable
<2> The lambda regularization parameter. A non-negative double.
<3> The gamma regularization parameter. A non-negative double.
<4> The applied shrinkage. A double in [0.001, 1].
<5> The maximum number of trees the forest is allowed to contain. An integer in [1, 2000].
<6> The fraction of features which will be used when selecting a random bag for each candidate split. A double in (0, 1].
<7> If set, feature importance for the top most important features will be computed.
<8> The name of the prediction field in the results object.
<9> The percentage of training-eligible rows to be used in training. Defaults to 100%.
<10> The seed to be used by the random generator that picks which rows are used in training.
<11> The optimization objective to target when assigning class labels. Defaults to maximize_minimum_recall.
<12> The number of top classes (or -1 which denotes all classes) to be reported in the results. Defaults to 2.
<13> Custom feature processors that will create new features for analysis from the included document
     fields. Note, automatic categorical {ml-docs}/ml-feature-encoding.html[feature encoding] still occurs for all features.
<14> The alpha regularization parameter. A non-negative double.
<15> The growth rate of the shrinkage parameter. A double in [0.5, 2.0].
<16> The soft tree depth limit. A non-negative double.
<17> The soft tree depth tolerance. Controls how much the soft tree depth limit is respected. A double greater than or equal to 0.01.
<18> The amount by which to downsample the data for stochastic gradient estimates. A double in (0, 1.0].
<19> The maximum number of optimisation rounds we use for hyperparameter optimisation per parameter. An integer in [0, 20].
<20> Whether to enable early stopping to finish training process if it is not finding better models.

+Regression+ analysis requires to set which is the +dependent_variable+ and
has a number of other optional parameters:

<11> The loss function used for regression. Defaults to `mse`.
<12> An optional parameter to the loss function.
