=== Evaluate {dfanalytics} API

Evaluates the {ml} algorithm that ran on a {dataframe}.
The API accepts an +{request}+ object and returns an +{response}+.

<1> Constructing a new evaluation request
<2> Reference to an existing index
<3> The query with which to select data from indices
<4> Evaluation to be performed

==== Evaluation

Evaluation to be performed.
Currently, supported evaluations include: +BinarySoftClassification+, +Classification+, +Regression+.
