Printing out model parameters

rob2 — Tue, 01 Oct 2019 08:19:54 GMT

Hi there,

given a model file in .sas7bdat format, is there a way to see the model parameters that model file was fitted with from the command line?

For example to see what the max depth, number of leaves, learning rate etc were originally specified as?

thanks very much for your time!

Rob.

proc contents data=model_file;
run;

proc contents basically gives the summarized output of entire dataset, but if it is a model then I am not sure, but it is worth a try.

Regards,

Bond.

Thank you for that 🙂

proc contents data='/path_to_file/file.sas7bdat';
run;

That does run, and produce some summary information printed to the .lst file

The next bit is how to determine what the model parameters are given the output that produces:

I can see the following in the output:

Alphabetic List of Variables and Attributes
# Variable Type Len

Is there a way to list the full contents of the Variables listed here? I think this step is what would give the answer I'm looking for.

thanks again!
