FeaturizationConfig

This object belongs to the CreatePredictor operation. If you created your predictor with CreateAutoPredictor, see AttributeConfig.

In a CreatePredictor operation, the specified algorithm trains a model using the specified dataset group. You can optionally tell the operation to modify data fields prior to training a model. These modifications are referred to as featurization.

You define featurization using the FeaturizationConfig object. You specify an array of transformations, one for each field that you want to featurize. You then include the FeaturizationConfig object in your CreatePredictor request. Amazon Forecast applies the featurization to the TARGET_TIME_SERIES and RELATED_TIME_SERIES datasets before model training.

You can create multiple featurization configurations. For example, you might call the CreatePredictor operation twice by specifying different featurization configurations.
