Apply Node

To make predictions using a model, you apply the model to new data. This process is also called scoring the new data.

An Apply node generates the SQL for scoring using one or more models. The SQL includes pass-through (supplemental) attributes and columns generated using scoring functions.

An Apply Node can run in parallel; for details, see Parallel Processing.
