Interval Target Variable Report

About Interval Target Variable Reports

The Interval Target Variable report creates two plots for you to view the actual versus predicted values for a model and the actual versus residual values for a model. The Interval Target Variable report can be created only for prediction models. Before you can create an Interval Target Variable report, certain project and model property settings must be set.

Verify Project and Model Properties

Before you can run an Interval Target Variable report, you must set the following project properties:
Default test table
Specifies a test table that is registered in the SAS Metadata Repository. You can view the table in the Data category view. The test table must contain the target variable, as well as values for the variables that are defined by the project input variables.
Training target variable
Specifies the name of the target variable that was used to train the model. The model must have the same training target variable as the project.
Output prediction variable
Specifies the name of the output prediction variable.
To verify the model mapping, select and open the model from the Models page. Select Model Properties then selectVariables to verify that the model variables are mapped to the project variables. If the variable names are the same, you do not need to map the variables. If they are not mapped, for each project variable, select the project variable and select a variable name.

Create an Interval Target Variable Report

You must have a prediction model with an interval target variable in order to create the Interval Target Variable report. After ensuring that the appropriate project properties have been set and the model mapping is set, create the report.
To create an Interval Target Variable report:
  1. Click New report and select Interval Target Variable. The New Report window appears.
    Interval Target Report
  2. Enter a name and description if you do not want to use the default values.
  3. Select an output type. The default is PDF.
  4. Select a style for the report. When the SAS default option is selected, the default style and themes are used in generating the report. For example, the SAS default style for the HTML output type is HTMLBLUE.
  5. From the list, select the models that you want to include in the report.
  6. Accept the default value for Input table or click Browse to navigate to the appropriate folder to select an input table. Click OK.
  7. Click Run. The report is generated and appears in the default viewer for the selected output type.
