Has anyone had to do this before?</P> Tue, 07 Feb 2017 08:41:24 GMT Slangster 2017-02-07T08:41:24Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Science/How-do-I-determine-variable-importance-in-an-Ensemble-model-in/m-p/330402#M4938 <P>I am currently building a model and the winning model is an ensemble model consisting of a HD Neural Network and a PLS regression but i am struggling to calculate variable imjportance.
