 # Azure Machine Learning service example notebooks
 
 This repository contains example notebooks demonstrating the [Azure Machine Learning](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/machine-learning-service/) Python SDK which allows you to build, train, deploy and manage machine learning solutions using Azure.  The AML SDK allows you the choice of using local or cloud compute resources, while managing and maintaining the complete data science workflow from the cloud.

A forecast horizon is a time span into the future (or just beyond the latest date in the training data) where forecasts of the target quantity are needed. Choosing a forecast horizon is application specific, but a rule-of-thumb is that **the horizon should be the time-frame where you need actionable decisions based on the forecast.** The horizon usually has a strong relationship with the frequency of the time-series data, that is, the sampling interval of the target quantity and the features. For instance, the NYC energy demand data has an hourly frequency. A decision that requires a demand forecast to the hour is unlikely to be made weeks or months in advance, particularly if we expect weather to be a strong determinant of demand. We may have fairly accurate meteorological forecasts of the hourly temperature and precipitation on a the time-scale of a day or two, however.\n",

To use this procedure, you just need to specify the desired number of CV folds in the AutoMLConfig object.

 ### Step 1: Create an Azure ML workspace
-Follow [these instructions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/service/quickstart-create-workspace-with-python) to install the Azure ML SDK on your local machine, create an Azure ML workspace, and set up your notebook environment, which is required for the next step.

 ### Step 2: Check your FPGA quota
 Use the Azure CLI to check whether you have quota.
