https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/3-questions-regarding-to-SAS-EM-association-data-partition-nodes/m-p/241692#M3548 <P>For question 1), you can attach multiple Input Data nodes to a modeling node (or to a Control Point node then modeling node as you mention), but you can only have at most one data set of each role connecting to the modeling node. &nbsp;So you can have a data set with the Role property set to Raw or Train in the Input Data node, one with role Validate, and one with role Test all feeding into a modeling node, and the modeling node will use the data sets according to their role, score each one, and export the scored versions to subsequent nodes, keeping the same role. &nbsp;Hope that makes sense and helps.</P> Mon, 04 Jan 2016 17:36:09 GMT WendyCzika 2016-01-04T17:36:09Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/3-questions-regarding-to-SAS-EM-association-data-partition-nodes/m-p/241115#M3538 <P>Hi all, I have following questions regarding to SAS EM and&nbsp;failed to find the answers online... Thanks for your help.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>1). Control point node is to help to simplify the diagram. However, I dont quite understand which result the model node is returning when multiple data sets are linked to it.. For example, if I link 2 data set to 1 model node, result based on which data set will be returned? Or the model node will combine the 2 data sets first and then compute the result?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>2). When using Association node for sequence analysis, there are 2 paramters called consolidate time and maximum transaction duration. May I check what's the unit of the 2 fields? For example, if the sequence in my data set is in days and I want to consolidate transactions within 2 days, shall I put "consolidate time = 2 (days) " or "consolidate time = 48 (hours)" ?&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>3). Does SAS EM support modification of transacion date set? Or data preparation is supposed to be done using SAS or SAS EG? I am asking as I tried to do data filtering using Filter node, and to do data partition using Data Partition node before doing association rule&nbsp;analysis. However, the filtering or data partition&nbsp;didnt work when I put data type = transaction; What's more, I am not supposed to change data type = raw/train since Association node only works for transactional data.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I am not sure whether this is the proper forum for such questions. Any suggestion is appreciated!&nbsp;</P> Tue, 29 Dec 2015 07:25:49 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/3-questions-regarding-to-SAS-EM-association-data-partition-nodes/m-p/241115#M3538 youyunjupiter 2015-12-29T07:25:49Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/3-questions-regarding-to-SAS-EM-association-data-partition-nodes/m-p/241692#M3548 <P>For question 1), you can attach multiple Input Data nodes to a modeling node (or to a Control Point node then modeling node as you mention), but you can only have at most one data set of each role connecting to the modeling node. &nbsp;So you can have a data set with the Role property set to Raw or Train in the Input Data node, one with role Validate, and one with role Test all feeding into a modeling node, and the modeling node will use the data sets according to their role, score each one, and export the scored versions to subsequent nodes, keeping the same role. &nbsp;Hope that makes sense and helps.</P> Mon, 04 Jan 2016 17:36:09 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/3-questions-regarding-to-SAS-EM-association-data-partition-nodes/m-p/241692#M3548 WendyCzika 2016-01-04T17:36:09Z
