SAS EM Decision Tree English Rules

jpindfw — Fri, 20 Nov 2015 22:16:57 GMT

Are the English Rules that are the result of a decision tree model available anywhere in the subdirectories? I have written a SAS program to reformat for an excel filtered table but have to manually save the file with the English Rules. I think that they should be somewhere in the Workspace or are they just created on the fly?

Thanks!

Judy

Hi Judy,

The English Rules are stored as a text file on a subdirectory with the node ID of your tree.

For example, for my decision tree number 3 on a diagram, the English Rules are in:

D:\EM\EM_Projects\EM14.1\miguel\demo\Workspaces\EMWS1\Tree3\ENGLISHRULES.txt

Once you know the physical path of your enterprise miner workspace (EMWS), the rest is pretty straightforward.

I hope you get to share with everybody this automated program that you are doing!

Good luck!

-Miguel

Thanks, Miguel! We are still on 12.1 so I did find them under the same subdirectory in the file names OUTDESCRIBE.txt. I am still working on the report but I think it would be a great addition to SAS reporting of decision trees. I should be able to share it with you soon.
