Q32. Perform these tasks in SAS Enterprise Miner:
*Continue to use the same diagram. Define and create the data set CREDIT_SCORE for scoring. The variables (their roles and measurement levels) in the CREDIT_SCORE data should be set as identical to those in the CREDIT dat a. The only exception is that the scoring data does not have a TARGET variable.
* Find the best model out of Decision Tree, Decision Tree (3-way), Regression, and Neural Network as defined by each of the four model’s overall performance in the validation data measured by average squared error. Now, use this best model to score the CREDIT_SCORE data.

Response:

Q35. Perform these tasks in SAS Enterprise Miner:
– Use the Regression node to build another regression model with TARGET as the dependent variable and all other input variables as independent variables (main effects only).
– Configure the regression model to use Stepwise for Selection Model and Validation Error for Selection Criteri a. Do not change any other property for the regression model.
