Problem Note 36517: Number of observations in augmented dataset might be incorrect with parceling method
When using "parceling" as the Reject Inference Method for the Reject Inference node in SAS® Enterprise Miner™, if at least one reject observation is inferred within each bin, then the "rejects population" is duplicated. As a result, there will be an inaccurate number of observations in the augmented data set.
No error or warning messages will be issued.
To determine whether or not the problem occurred, compare the total number of observations exported from the Reject Inference node to number of observations imported by the Reject Inference node. If the number of observations exported from the Reject Inference node is equal to the number of observations from the Scorecard node plus twice the number of observations in the rejects data set, then the problem occurred.
If there is at least one bin with no inferred reject observation, then the problem does not occur. You might be able to avoid the problem by using "Manual" for the Score Range Method and trying to get the _inferred_event_count to equal zero for at least one bin.

For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
When using parceling as a reject inference method, if at least one reject observation is inferred within each bin, then the rejects population is duplicated resulting in an inaccurate number of observations in the augmented data set.
