Quickstart demo
This page describes how to get started with data preparation and setup cloud
automation for running Google Meridian
using Cortex for marketing predefined
data models for model inputs in its demo
instance in Cloud Shell. This demo includes automatic generation of
BigQuery datasets, automatic permission granting,
and sample test data. For information about deployment in production environments, see
Meridian deployment for Cortex Framework.
This demo deployer automatically executes the notebook as part of the
deployment process. To begin the demo:
