Example Process Flow Diagram

Task 13. Scoring the Score Data Set

The Score node generates and manages scoring code that is generated by the nodes in the process flow diagram. The code is encapsulated in the form of a single SAS DATA step, which can be used in most SAS environments even without the presence of Enterprise Miner.

Connect the Assessment node to the Score node.
Connect the Input Data Source node that contains the score data set to the Score node.
Open the configuration interface to the Score node. The Settings tab is displayed. Set the action to Apply training data score code to score data set.
Select the Score Code tab to see the current imports. Because you explicitly selected the neural network model in the Output tab of the Assessment node, the Assessment import contains the scoring code for the neural network model. To view the scoring code, double-click the Assessment current import entry. The code is displayed in the list box to the right.

Note: The score data set is often much larger than the data set from this example, making it more difficult to score within Enterprise Miner. For this reason, many companies often store the score data set (applicant database) on a mainframe computer. You could save and transport this scoring formula to the target mainframe and score the applicant database on the more powerful mainframe. The code contains the entire instructions for scoring. Only base SAS software is required to run the code.
Close the Score node. Click Yes in the message window to save your changes.
To score the SAMPSIO.DMAGESCR data set, right-click the node icon and then select Run. When scoring is completed, click Yes in the message window.
