Learn how to fit a decision tree and use your decision tree model to score new data. In Part 6 of this series we took our Home Equity data saved in Part 4 and fit a logistic regression to it. In this post we will use the same data and
Learn how to fit a logistic regression and use your model to score new data. In part 4 of this series, we created and saved our modeling data set with all our updates from imputing missing values and assigning rows to training and validation data. Now we will use this
Learn how to fit a linear regression and use your model to score new data. In part 4 of this series, we created our modeling dataset by including a column to identify the rows to be used for training and validating our model. Here, we will create our first model
Learn how to split your data into a training and validation data set to be used for modeling. In part 3 of this series, we replaced the missing values with imputed values. Our final step in preparing the data for modeling is to split the data into a training and
In part 1 of this series, we examined our data before building any models. Among the discoveries were missing values in some of our columns. Missing values are an inevitable part of data analysis. Whether it's due to a faulty sensor, human error, or simply the absence of information, missing
Welcome back to my SAS Users blog series CAS Action! - a series on fundamentals. In this post, I'll show how to create user defined functions (UDFs) for the distributed CAS server using SAS and CASL code. Once the UDF is created, you can use it on the CAS server with programming
