(Required)

The layer containing the dependent and independent variables.

Syntax: As described in Feature input, this parameter can be one of the following:

• A URL to a feature service layer with an optional filter to select specific features
• A URL to a big data catalog service layer with an optional filter to select specific features
• A feature collection

//REST web example
{"url": "https://myportal.domain.com/server/rest/services/Hosted/hurricaneTrack/FeatureServer/0", "filter": "Month = 'September'"}

//REST scripting example
"inputLayer": {"url": "https://myportal.domain.com/server/rest/services/Hosted/hurricaneTrack/FeatureServer/0", "filter":"Month = 'September'"}

(Required)

One or more fields representing independent explanatory variables in your regression model.

//REST web example
Rate

//REST scripting example
"explanatoryVariables": "Rating,Nights"

(Required)

The numeric field containing the observed values you want to model.

//REST web example
Earnings

//REST scripting examples
"dependentVariable": "Arrest"

(Required)

Specifies the type of data that will be modeled.

//REST web example
Continuous

//REST scripting example
"modelType": "Continuous"

(Required)

Specifies how the neighborhood size will be determined.

• UserDefined—The neighborhood size will be specified by either the numberOfNeighbors or distanceBand parameter.

//REST web example
UserDefined

//REST scripting example
"neighborhoodSelectionMethod": "UserDefined"

(Required)

Specifies whether the neighborhood used is constructed as a fixed distance or allowed to vary in spatial extent depending on the density of the features.

• DistanceBand—The neighborhood size is a constant or fixed distance for each feature.
• NumberOfNeighbors—The neighborhood size is a function of a specified number of neighbors included in calculations for each feature. Where features are dense, the spatial extent of the neighborhood is smaller; where features are sparse, the spatial extent of the neighborhood is larger.

//REST web example
DistanceBand

//REST scripting example
"neighborhoodType": "NumberOfNeighbors"

(Required if neighborhoodType is DistanceBand)

The distance for the spatial extent of the neighborhood.

//REST web example
10

//REST scripting example
"distanceBand": 22.5

(Required if distanceBand is used)

The unit of the distance for the spatial extent of the neighborhood.

Values: Meters | Kilometers | Feet | FeetInt | FeetUS | Miles | MilesInt | MilesUS | NauticalMiles | NauticalMilesInt | NauticalMilesUS | Yards | YardsInt | YardsUS

//REST web example
Meters

//REST scripting example
"distanceBandUnit": "Miles"

(Required if neighborhoodType is NumberOfNeighbors)

The closest number of neighbors (up to 1000) to consider for each feature. The number should be an integer between 2 and 1000.

//REST web example
500

//REST scripting example
"numberOfNeighbors": 350

(Optional)

Specifies the kernel type that will be used to provide the spatial weighting in the model. The kernel defines how each feature is related to other features within its neighborhood.

• BiSquare—A weight of 0 will be assigned to any feature outside the neighborhood specified. This is the default.
• Gaussian—All features will receive weights, but weights become exponentially smaller the farther away they are from the target feature.

//REST web example
BiSquare

//REST scripting example
"localWeightingScheme": Gaussian

The task will create a feature service of the results. You define the name of the service.

//REST web example
myOutput

//REST scripting example
"outputTrainedName": "myOutput"

(Optional)

The context parameter contains additional settings that affect task execution. For this task, there are four settings:

• Extent (extent)—A bounding box that defines the analysis area. Only those features that intersect the bounding box will be analyzed.
• Processing spatial reference (processSR)—The features will be projected into this coordinate system for analysis.
• Output spatial reference (outSR)—The features will be projected into this coordinate system after the analysis to be saved. The output spatial reference for the spatiotemporal big data store is always WGS84.
• Data store (dataStore)—Results will be saved to the specified data store. The default is the spatiotemporal big data store.

{
"extent" : {extent},
"processSR" : {spatial reference},
"outSR" : {spatial reference},
"dataStore":{data store}
}

The response format. The default response format is html.

Values: html | json
