# Data frame analytics
<important>
  Using data frame analytics requires source data to be structured as a two dimensional "tabular" data structure, in other words a data frame. [Transforms](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/5399/explore-analyze/transforms) enable you to create data frames which can be used as the source for data frame analytics.
</important>

Data frame analytics enable you to perform different analyses of your data and annotate it with the results. Consult [Setup and security](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/5399/explore-analyze/machine-learning/setting-up-machine-learning) to learn more about the license and the security privileges that are required to use data frame analytics.
