# Prediction Definition Resources

A prediction definition specifies what the model is trying to predict and the Salesforce entity associated with the prediction. Each prediction definition has a unique id. Only certain attributes of a prediction definition can be modified.

Examples

For use cases to manage prediction definitions, see [Manage Prediction Definitions](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.bi_dev_guide_rest_sdd.meta/bi_dev_guide_rest_sdd/bi_edd_prediction_service_prediction_definition.htm "The Einstein Prediction Service provides REST API endpoints to manage prediction definitions. A prediction definition specifies what the model is trying to predict and the Salesforce entity associated with the prediction. Each prediction definition has a unique id. Only certain attributes of a prediction definition can be modified.").

For use cases to manage models, see [Manage Models](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.bi_dev_guide_rest_sdd.meta/bi_dev_guide_rest_sdd/bi_edd_prediction_service_model.htm "The Einstein Prediction Service provides REST API endpoints to manage models. Each model has a unique id. A model is used to evaluate predictors and return predictions and improvements. These REST endpoints allow you to make updates to model metadata, but not update the actual predictive model.").
