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 from SAS Model Manager, you might use the following scenario:
-
Identify
the model that outperforms other candidate models and declare this
model to be a champion model.
-
Freeze
the model version to prevent changes to the model.
-
Test and
validate the model before you declare the model ready for production.
-
Set the
model version as the default version and update your life cycle milestones.
-
Publish
or export the model so that you can deploy the champion model to a
production environment.
The following
figure illustrates activities that might occur before a model is deployed.
