New Products in SAS 9.2: SAS Rapid Predictive Modeler


SAS Rapid Predictive Modeler is a new feature for users who need to rapidly produce models for common business problems such as promotion response and customer churn. These models can be integrated into standard reporting and production scoring processes on many platforms and databases. The modeling techniques have been designed to produce robust and accurate models in a large number of scenarios.

SAS Rapid Predictive Modeler is highly automated. You must choose one dependent target variable, but all other selections are automated. All data transformations and modeling techniques have been parameterized. Output and reports have been predefined. The model can be registered in the SAS Metadata Server for integration by other products such as SAS Model Manager, SAS Data Integration Studio, SAS Enterprise Guide, the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office, SAS Enterprise Miner, and many SAS solutions.

SAS Rapid Predictive Modeler appears as a custom task in SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3 or in Microsoft Excel by using the SAS Add-In 4.3 for Microsoft Office. You can find complete usage documentation in those products.

Note: Your license for SAS Enterprise Miner includes SAS Rapid Predictive Modeler and a limited license for the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office in Microsoft Excel.

Models that you create using SAS Rapid Predictive Modeler can also be opened, modified, and run in SAS Enterprise Miner 6.2.
