That would describe the data mining view as well as the scoring view?</P><P></P><P style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: #f8f8f8;">In addition any book that is entirely focused in clustering using SAS Base?</P><P></P><P style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: #f8f8f8;">Kind regards and thnx in advance</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 01 Mar 2013 21:13:20 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/propensity-modeling-clustering/m-p/125348#M1052 chemicalab 2013-03-01T21:13:20Z Re: propensity modeling,clustering https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/propensity-modeling-clustering/m-p/125349#M1053 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><BR />Propensity modeling is such a broad term.
