# RegressionSolution- Global

The RegressionSolution 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.

The solution setup-to-training flow is as follows:

1.  Create a dataset using the [DatasetDefinition](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/DatasetDefinitionAPI.md) API.
2.  Optional. Build an encoder using the [Encoder](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/EncoderAPI.md) API.
3.  Use the [constructor](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/RegressionSolutionAPI.md) to create a regression solution object.
4.  Add the solution object to the regression solution store using the [RegressionSolutionStore - add\(\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/RegressionSolutionStoreAPI.md) method.
5.  Train the solution using the [submitTrainingJob\(\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/RegressionSolutionAPI.md) method. This creates a version of the object that you can manage using the [RegressionSolutionVersion](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/RegressionSolutionVersionAPI.md) API.
6.  Get predictions using the [RegressionSolutionVersion – predict\(\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/server-api-reference/RegressionSolutionVersionAPI.md) method.

**Note:** This API runs with full privileges before the Vancouver Patch 7 Hotfix 2b and Washington DC Patch 7 releases. With later releases, grant access using ACLs. For more information see [Query ACLs](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-security/query-acl-rule.md).

</table>The following example shows how to create an object and add it to the RegressionSolution store.

```
var myNewData = new sn_ml.DatasetDefinition(
  { 
     'tableName' : 'incident', 
     'fieldNames' : ['category', 'short_description', 'priority'],
     'fieldDetails' : [
       {
