The KS report contains
the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test plots for models with a binary target.
The KS statistic measures the maximum vertical separation, or deviation
between the cumulative distributions of events and non-events. This
trend report uses a summary data set that plots the KS statistic and
the KS probability cutoff values over time.
Use the KS report to
detect degradations in the predictive power of a model. To scroll
through a successive series of KS performance depictions, select a
time interval from the Time Interval list
box. If model performance is declining, it is indicated by the decreasing
distances between the KS plot lines.
To detect model performance
degradation, you can set the ksDecay performance index in the KS report.
The data that underlies
the KS chart is contained in the report component file mm_ks.sas7bdat.
The following report
is an example of a KS report. By placing the cursor over a point in
the chart, you can view the data for that point.
