Problem Note 42719: Assessment results for a formatted numeric target variable are incorrect
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS® Model Manager, if a numeric target variable has an associated format, for example BEST12., then assessment results might be incorrect. The assessment results that are effected are those which report "number of non-events" and "number of events".
The results are incorrect because all observations in each bin will be included in the "number of non-events" variable.
To work around the problem, remove the format from the numeric target variable.
