Users of SAS Enterprise
Miner develop data mining models that use measured attributes to either
characterize or predict the value of an event. These models are developed
on historical data where an event has been measured or inferred. The
models are then applied to new data for which the attributes are known,
but the event has not yet occurred. For example, a model can be created
based on a credit institution’s records of payments that customers
made and missed last year. The model can then be used to predict which
customers will miss payments this year.
SAS Enterprise Miner
creates SAS language score code for the purpose of scoring new data.
Users run this code in production systems to make business decisions
for each record of new data.
The Score Code Export
node is an extension for SAS Enterprise Miner that exports files that
are necessary for score code deployment. Extensions are programmable
add-ins for the SAS Enterprise Miner environment.
The following icon is
the Score Code Export node as it appears in a SAS Enterprise Miner
process flow diagram.
The following files are exported
by the Score Code Export node:
-
the SAS scoring model program (score.sas).
-
an XML file that contains the scoring
variables and other properties that are used and created by the scoring
code (score.xml).
-
a format catalog, if the scoring
program contains user-defined formats.
-
an XML file containing descriptions
of the final variables that are created by the scoring code. This
file can be kept for decision-making processes.
-
a ten-row sample of the scored
data set showing typical cases of the input attributes, intermediate
variables, and final output variables. This data set can be used to
test and debug new scoring processes.
-
a ten-row sample table of the training
data set showing the typical cases of the input attributes used to
develop the score code.
