The goal of a modeling
project is to identify a champion model that a scoring application
uses to predict an outcome. SAS Model Manager
provides tools to evaluate candidate models, declare champion models,
and inform your scoring officer that a predictive model is ready for
validation or production.
To deploy a model,
you might use the following scenario:
-
Identify the model that
outperforms other candidate models and declare this model to be the
project champion model. You can also flag challenger models for the
champion model.
-
Test and validate the
model before you declare the model ready for production.
-
Lock the champion version
to prevent changes to the model.
-
Publish the champion
model and challenger models (optional) so that you can deploy them
to a production environment.
