Formatting Performance Monitoring Reports

About Monitoring Reports

After you execute a performance task from the SAS Model Manager window or run the %MM_RunReports() macro in production mode, as a batch job, SAS Model Manager stores the output data sets in the default version Resources folder. You can use the New Reports wizard to format the performance monitoring results in PDF, HTML, RTF, or Excel output formats, or you can view the performance monitoring results by selecting the default version Performance node. When you create monitoring reports using the New Reports Wizard, the report creates the following charts:
Assessment Charts
Assessment charts summarize the utility that one can expect by using the respective models, as compared to using only baseline information. Assessment charts can present a model's lift at a given point in time or the sequential lift performance of a model's lift over time. A monitoring report creates the following assessment charts:
  • Lift
  • Cumulative Lift
  • Percent Response
  • Cumulative Percent Response
  • Captured Response
  • Cumulative Captured Response
Lift Trend Chart
A Lift Trend chart displays the cumulative lift of the champion model, over time.
Gini - ROC Chart
Sensitivity is the proportion of true positive events and specificity is the proportion of true negative events. The Gini - ROC Chart plots Sensitivity on the Y axis and 1 - Specificity on the X axis.
Gini - Trend
When the Gini - ROC Chart is created, the Gini index for each ROC curve is also created. The Gini coefficient represents the area under the ROC curve and is a benchmark statistic that can be used to summarize the predictive accuracy of a model. The Gini - Trend Chart plots a model's Gini index scores over time, and these are used to monitor model degradation over time.
KS Chart
The KS Chart uses the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic to measure the maximum vertical separation, or deviation between the cumulative distributions of events and non-events.
KS Trend Chart
When you create a Kolmogorov-Smirnov report, the KS statistic and the corresponding probability cutoff are computed for each Kolmogorov-Smirnov table. The KS Trend Chart uses a summary data set that plots the KS Statistic and the probability cutoff values over time. The KS Trend Chart is used to monitor model degradation over time.
Before you create a monitoring report, you must ensure that certain project and model properties are set. For more information, see Verify Project and Model Property Settings.
These are the tasks that you perform for monitoring reports:

Create Monitoring Reports

To create a monitoring report, follow these steps:
  1. Expand the version folder Version Folder Icon.
  2. Right-click the Reports node and select Reportsthen selectNew Report Wizard. The New Report Wizard opens.
  3. Select Monitoring Report from the Type list box.
    New Report Wizard Monitoring Report
  4. In the Format list box, select the type of output that you want to create. The default is PDF. Other options are HTML, RTF, and Excel.
  5. In the Report Properties table, complete the Name and Description properties if you do not want to use the default values. The default value for the Name property uses the form Monitoring_DdateTtime. The characters @ \ / * % # & $ ( ) ! ? < > ^ + ~ ` = { } [ ] | ; : ‘ " cannot be used in the name.
  6. Click OK. A message box confirms that the report was created successfully.

Monitoring Report Output Files

The New Reports Wizard stores the monitoring report output files in a report node under the Reports folder. The name of the report node is the value of the Name field that you specified in the New Report Wizard Report Properties table.
Each time you run the New Report Wizard, the wizard creates these files:
  • the report in either HTML, PDF, RTF, or Excel format
  • taskCode.log
  • taskCode.sas
The wizard overwrites the output files if output file of the same name already exist.
Here is a description of the model comparison output files:
Report File
Description
report-name.html
This file is the report output in HTML format.
report-name.pdf
This file is the report output in PDF format.
report-name.rtf
This file is the report output in RTF format.
report-name.xls
This file is the report output in Excel format.
taskCode.log
This file is the log file that contains messages from running the SAS code to create the report.
taskCode.sas
This file is the SAS code that is used to create the report.
After you create a report, you view the report from the Reports folder.
