View Model Comparison Reports for Retrained Models

To view a model comparison report, follow these steps:
  1. Expand the report folder that you specified when you defined the model retrain task (for example, HMEQ Model Comparison_DYYYY-MM-DDTMM:SS). The report folder is located in the Model Retrain folder for the associated project.
    Note: The name of the report folder also contains a timestamp in the format of _DYYYY-MM-DDTMM:SS that is supplied by the system when the report is created.

Note: You can also view the model retrain report in the following ways:
  • Navigate to the report folder location on the SAS Workspace Server that you specified when defining the model retrain task. Here is an example: \\myserver.com\c:\Users\mmanalyst\Documents\My SAS Files\9.3\Model Retrain\Reports
  • Open the SPK file that was sent in the e-mail notification. This action is available only if you set a notification when you defined the model retrain task.
For an example of a comparison report in HTML format, see Model Retrain Comparison Report Example in SAS Model Manager: User's Guide.
