SAS Model Manager is an example
of the SAS analytics products that use the SAS Intelligence Platform.
This product provides a central model repository and model management
environment for predictive and analytical models. SAS Model Manager
also provides procedural templates that facilitate model and metadata
management across organizational areas, throughout the life cycle
of the model.
In SAS Model Manager,
a model is associated with properties that describe it, such as the
type of analysis, algorithm, input and output variables, quality measures,
reports, attribute rankings, and target scores. These properties are
stored in the model metadata. Model metadata can also document conformance
to industry requirements, such as best practice information and credit
scoring audit trails.

-

repository
