Synopsis

  describe-predictor
--predictor-arn <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options

--predictor-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the predictor that you want information about.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

PerformHPO -> (boolean)

Whether the predictor is set to perform hyperparameter optimization (HPO).

TrainingParameters -> (map)

The default training parameters or overrides selected during model training. If using the AutoML algorithm or if HPO is turned on while using the DeepAR+ algorithms, the optimized values for the chosen hyperparameters are returned. For more information, see aws-forecast-choosing-recipes .

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

EvaluationParameters -> (structure)

The default is the value of the forecast horizon. BackTestWindowOffset can be used to mimic a past virtual forecast start date.
