Prerequisites for Editing a Performance Definition

Before you edit a Performance Definition, the environment must be set appropriately as follows:

After the environment is set, you can run the Edit Performance Definition wizard.

The Edit Performance Definition wizard generates report code for the champion model in the champion version.

You can determine the champion version and the champion model by looking for the icon next to the champion version name and the champion model name on the Versions page. The status is also indicated in the Role column on the Models page.

If the champion model is not set, select a model and click or right-click the champion model name and select Set as Champion. The icon appears next to the champion model name and the version for the champion model.

You can determine the challenger model by looking at the Role column on the Models page. View the number of challengers on the Details view of the Versions page.

If the challenger model is not set, click or right-click the challenger model name and select Flag as Challenger.

Performance monitoring is valid only for a project that is associated with a classification model function and has a binary target, or for a prediction model function that has an interval target. You should define only performance definitions for classification and prediction models. The champion model must either have a function type of classification and must contain a binary target, or have a function type of prediction and must contain an interval target.

From the Projects category view, select the champion model name and verify that the Model function property in the specific properties section is set to Classification or Prediction. For models that are created using SAS Enterprise Miner, verify that Class target level is set to BINARY for a classification model or to INTERVAL for a prediction model.

The Edit Performance Definition wizard requires that the performance data be registered in the SAS Metadata Repository. You can register the data sets in the Data category view or you can add tables to an existing library that have already been registered using SAS Management Console.

If your performance table is not available for selection, contact your administrator to add the table to the Data Library Manager using SAS Management Console. For more information, see the SAS Decision Manager: Administrator's Guide.

Several properties must be defined in order to generate the model performance reports. Verify that the appropriate project and model properties are set. Here is a list of properties.

In order to create the model performance reports, you must map the model output variable to the project output variable if the corresponding project variable and the model variable have different names.

To map the model variables to the project variables:
