Setting probability threshold
NOTE: This is only applicable for the Classification use-cases (binary only).
The threshold for converting predicted probability to the class labels. Unless this parameter is set, it will default to the value set during model creation. If that wasn’t set, the default will be 0.5 for all classifiers. Only applicable for binary classification.

AWS
Before deploying a model to an AWS S3 (‘aws’), environment variables must be configured using the command-line interface. To configure AWS environment variables, type aws configure in your python command line. The following information is required which can be generated using the Identity and Access Management (IAM) portal of your amazon console account:
AWS Access Key ID
AWS Secret Key Access
Default Region Name (can be seen under Global settings on your AWS console)
Default output format (must be left blank)
GCP
To deploy a model on Google Cloud Platform ('gcp'), the project must be created using the command-line or GCP console. Once the project is created, you must create a service account and download the service account key as a JSON file to set environment variables in your local environment.
Learn more about it: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production​
Azure
To deploy a model on Microsoft Azure ('azure'), environment variables for the connection string must be set in your local environment. Go to settings of storage account on Azure portal to access the connection string required.
AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING (required as environment variable)
Learn more about it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-quickstart-blobs-python?toc=%2Fpython%2Fazure%2FTOC.json​

save_experiment
The save_experiment function saves the experiment to a pickle file. The experiment is saved using cloudpickle to deal with lambda functions. The data or test data is NOT saved with the experiment and will need to be specified again when loading using load_experiment.

convert_model
This function transpiles the trained machine learning model's decision function in different programming languages such as Python, C, Java, Go, C#, etc. It is very useful if you want to deploy models into environments where you can't install your normal Python stack to support model inference.
