# PredictabilityEstimateVersion- Global

The PredictabilityEstimateVersion API is a scriptable object used in Predictive Intelligence stores.

This API requires the Predictive Intelligence plugin \(com.glide.platform\_ml\) and is provided within the `sn_ml` namespace.

Use this API when working with predictability estimate versions based on [PredictabilityEstimate API](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/PredictabilityEstimateAPI.md) objects in the [PredictabilityEstimate store](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/PredictabilityEstimateStoreAPI.md).

The system activates the most recent version of the predictability estimate when it completes training, and only allows one version to be active at a time. However, you can activate any previously trained version you want to use to make predictions.

Methods in this API are accessible using the following PredictabiltyEstimate methods:

-   [getActiveVersion\(\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/PredictabilityEstimateAPI.md)
-   [getAllVersions\(\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/PredictabilityEstimateAPI.md)
-   [getLatestVersion\(\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/PredictabilityEstimateAPI.md)
-   [getVersion\(\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/PredictabilityEstimateAPI.md)
