Model Management Process

Create Model Repository: create a secure model repository on the SAS Content Server where SAS code, input and output files, and metadata that is associated with a model can be stored.

Register Candidate Models: register input and output files, and then import and configure a model.

Compare Models: perform scoring tests and create comparison reports for models by using test data sources.

Declare a Champion Model: declare the model to use for testing and production phases of the life cycle.

Validate Model: perform scoring tests and create validation reports for the champion model by using test data sources.

Freeze Version: lock a version when the champion model in a version folder is approved for production.

Set Default Version: set a default version before exporting a project champion model. A default version is the current production version for the SAS Model Manager project.

Deliver Model or Database Scoring Function: publish a model to a SAS publish channel or publish a champion model for a project as a scoring function to a database.

Retrain Models: select models to retrain in response to data or market changes.
