Overview of Deploying Models

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:
  1. 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.
  2. Test and validate the model before you declare the model ready for production.
  3. Lock the champion version for the project to prevent changes to the champion model.
  4. Publish the champion model and challenger models (optional) so that you can deploy them to a production environment.
