Import Models

In this exercise you import models into SAS Model Manager, set model properties, and map the model variables. The imported models are SAS code models. The SAS code for the first model is the LOGISTICS procedure, whereas the SAS code for the second and third models consists of DATA step fragments. To import SAS code file, at least three component files are required: the model score code, the model input file, and the model output file. For prediction or classification models, you also must prepare model target files.

Import SAS Code Models

  1. Expand the 2011 version in the Delinquency project and right-click Models folder. Then select Import fromthen selectLocal Files. The Local Files window appears.
  2. Import Model 1.
    1. In the left pane, expand the Desktop folder and select <drive>:\Tutorial2\Samples\model1.
    2. Type Model 1 in the Name box. For each filename in the Object column, click the filename and drag it to the corresponding option box. This action maps the tutorial model component filenames to the SAS Model Manager model component filenames.
      Object
      Option
      modelin1.sas7bdat
      modelinput.sas7bdat
      modelout1.sas7bdat
      modeloutput.sas7bdat
      om.sas7bdat
      outmodel.sas7bdat
      score1.sas
      score.sas
      target1.sas7bdat
      target.sas7bdat
      Here is the Local Files window after the files have been mapped.

    3. Click OK.
  3. Import Model 2.
    1. Open the Local Files. In the left pane, expand the Desktop folder and select <drive>:\Tutorial2\Samples\model2.
    2. Type Model 2 in the Name box. For each filename in the Object column, click the filename and drag it to the corresponding option box. This action maps the tutorial model component filenames to the SAS Model Manager model component filenames.
      Object
      Option
      modelin2.sas7bdat
      modelinput.sas7bdat
      modelout2.sas7bdat
      modeloutput.sas7bdat
      ot.sas7bdat
      outmodel.sas7bdat
      score2.sas
      score.sas
      target2.sas7bdat
      target.sas7bdat
    3. Click OK.
  4. Import Model 3.
    1. Open the Local Files window. In the left pane, expand the Desktop folder and select <drive>:\Tutorial2\Samples\model3.
    2. Type Model 3 in the Name box. For each filename in the Object column, click the filename and drag it to the corresponding option box. This action maps the tutorial model component filenames to the SAS Model Manager model component filenames.
      Object
      Option
      modelin3.sas7bdat
      modelinput.sas7bdat
      modelout3.sas7bdat
      modeloutput.sas7bdat
      score3.sas
      score.sas
      target3.sas7bdat
      target.sas7bdat
    3. Click OK.
  5. Examine the Models folder to verify that it contains the three models. Right-click the folder and select Expand All Items to examine the model files.

Set Model Properties

Set the properties for the model. SAS Model Manager requires that the Score Code Type be set to Data Step if the score code is a DATA step fragment, or be set to SAS Program if the score code is a SAS procedure. Follow these steps.
  1. Select Model 1. Click the Description field and enter first model for tutorial 2.
  2. Select Model 2. Click the Score Code Type box and select DATA Step.
  3. Select Model 3. Click the Score Code Type box and select DATA Step.

Map Model Variables to Project Variables

When the names of the model output variable are not identical to the names of the project output variables, you must map the variables. To map model output variables to project output variables, follow these steps:
  1. Map model variables for the first model. Right-click Model 1 in the Models folder and then select Set Model Output Mapping. Ensure that the following model variables are mapped to their respective project variables. To map a model variable to a project variable, click in the box in the Model Variables column, select a variable, and click OK.
    Project Variables
    Model Variables
    posterior
    P_1
    prediction
    I_bad
  2. Map model variables for the second model. Select Model 2 in the Models folder and then click the Model Mapping tab in the right pane. Click Edit. Ensure that the following model variables are mapped to their respective project variables. To map a model variable to a project variable, click the box in the Model Variables column and select a variable. Click OK when you are finished.
    Project Variables
    Model Variables
    posterior
    prob2
    prediction
    prediction
  3. Map model variables for the third model. Select Model 3 in the Models folder and then click the Model Mapping tab in the right pane. Click Edit. Ensure that the following model variables are mapped to their respective project variables. To map a model variable to a project variable, click the box in the Model Variables column and select a variable. Click OK when you are finished.

Update the Life Cycle (Optional)

To update the Development milestone, follow these steps:
  1. In the Delinquency project, expand 2011then selectLife Cyclethen selectDevelopment.
  2. Select the Import models task. Click the Status box and select Completed.
  3. Select the Development milestone to refresh the property values. Select Import models. The Completed Date and Completed By fields have been updated with today's date and your user ID.
  4. Click the Life Cycle node to examine its properties. The value for Date Modified is today's date. The Develop property displays a bar chart that shows the percentage of completed tasks for this milestone.
    The life cycle status of the Develop milestone.

Update the Workflow Process (Optional)

To complete the activities in the associated workflow process, follow these steps:
  1. Click My Workflow Inbox from the SAS Model Manager main window to view the workflow process activities in your workflow inbox. Workflow Console is launched in a Web browser, and displays the Activities category view.
    Note: The list displays only the activities for which you are the actual owner or are assigned as a potential owner, and that have the state of Started.
  2. From the Activities category view, select an activity name, and click Claim the activity to claim an activity.
    Note: You can select an activity name and click Release the activity to release an activity that you had previously claimed.
  3. (Optional) Enter a property value or change an existing property value in the Properties pane.
  4. (Optional) Add a comment to the activity using the Comments pane.
  5. Select a status value to complete the activity. The workflow process continues to the next activity.

  6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the activities that you completed during this tutorial.
