SAS Enterprise Miner projects to SAS Viya VDMML pipeline (node wise) comparison

devi001 — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 06:01:25 GMT

Hi All,

We are doing comparison of SAS E-Miner projects to SAS Viya VDMML pipeline. We found that there is no node-to-node mapping available. Please refer attached snip for reference taken from Migration status document 2023.09.

Can someone please tell us what will be alternative in Viya VDMML for these E-Miner nodes - Append, Data Partition, Principal Components etc (there are few more but listed down here limited nodes). If there is any mapping available?

Thank in advance!!

There is a webinar available on moving: https://communities.sas.com/t5/Ask-the-Expert/How-Do-I-Move-From-SAS-Enterprise-Miner-to-SAS-Viya-Q-amp-A/ta-p/748754 . I don' believe direct migration of diagrams to pipelines was discussed. Maybe @MelodieRush has some ideas to share.

Sorry, I do not open attachments.

There are not so many Enterprise Miner nodes.

Here they are by the way:

Getting Started with SAS® Enterprise Miner™ 15.3
About Nodes

https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/emgsj/15.3/n1cpd0rgpneqwqn16mfcxp4sbjsb.htm

Can't you put your list as part of the text?

There's no 1-to-1 mapping
, but most of the Enterprise Miner capabilities are also there in Model Studio VDMML.

Appending and Merging NO, Data Partitioning YES (but it's done in a different way).
Also sampling the training data and scoring a hold-out set are done in a different way. Not through a (separate) node!
SOM/Kohonen EM node is no longer there in Model Studio VDMML.
Partial Least Squares EM node is no longer there in Model Studio VDMML. (that's a pity!!)
I am not sure about the availability of a cutoff node in Model Studio VDMML.

If you are unsure about an Enterprise Miner node, please ask ... and I will tell you how the same can be done / achieved in Model Studio VDMML.

BR,

Koen

Thank you very much for both of your comments!!

We are trying to create below node wise mapping of E-Miner nodes and its Viya alternative. Basis on your inputs, updated the same for Append, SOM/Kohonen and Partial Least Squares.

Also could you please validate this list for nodes to which we found mapping in Viya and explain for some nodes there is not direct mapping available but can be done in another way in Viya, is it possible to share that information (procedure/steps) over here?

Please Note - In below list, some nodes are in Magenta color is because we don't find it's direct Viya mapping but feature wise we feel that it could be alternative (we might be wrong in mapping some of those)
