[[ml-explain-dfanalytics-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
This API provides explanations for a {dataframe-analytics-config} that either
exists already or one that has not been created yet.
The following explanations are provided:
* which fields are included or not in the analysis and why,
* how much memory is estimated to be required. The estimate can be used when
deciding the appropriate value for `model_memory_limit` setting later on.
If you have object fields or fields that are excluded via source filtering,
they are not included in the explanation.
