Guided workflows for machine learning-based data analyses

Techniques are described for providing a ML data analytics application including guided ML workflows that facilitate the end-to-end training and use of various types of ML models, where such guided workflows may also be referred to as ML "experiments." For example, the ML data analytics application may enable users to create experiments related to prediction of numeric fields (for example, using linear regression techniques), predicting categorical fields (for example, using logistic regression), detecting numerical outliers (for example, using various distribution statistics), detecting categorical outliers (for example, using probabilistic statistics), forecasting time series data, and clustering numeric events (for example, using k-means, density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN), spectral clustering, or other techniques), among other possible uses of various types of ML models to analyze data.
