AAEMSPEL.Organics variables different from class notes. Applied Analytics Using SAS® Enterprise Min

[frankobermeyer]

I am in Lesson 3 of Applied Analytics Using SAS® Enterprise Miner™, attempting to complete the exercise using the AAEMSPEL.Organics Dataset. The exercise asks to make the following changes: 

1. Specify ORGYN as the target.
2. Set the model role for AGEGRP1 and AGEGRP2 to Rejected.
   The variables AGE, AGEGRP1, and AGEGRP2 are all different measurements for the same information. Presume that, based on previous experience, you know that AGE should be used for this type of modeling.
3. Set the model role for ORGANICS to Rejected.

However, none of these variables exist in the dataset. The list of variables in the dataset are attached.

Has anyone else faced this issue? I will try to use my judgement as to which fields are equivalent, but this should be an easy fix on the learning developer's side.

Could it be that the libname points to the wrong directory?
I am using SAS OnDemand for Academics with "libname aaemspel '/tutorials/data/studio/aaem_spel';" and I have no issues.

Best regards, Jos

Hi:

  Are you taking the e-learning class or do you have the course notes from an instructor-based class. In the classroom, when we teach our classes, the students use the AAEM library, This is DIFFERENT from the AAEMSPEL library. E-learning students should not try to compare the results in the course notes to their output in the e-learning class. The data is different, the libraries are different. If you are in the SAS Academy for Data Science and taking the Applied Analytics using SAS Enterprise Miner course notes, we have THIS note in the course -- look at the bottom of the Table of Contents for the course:

  Please do not expect your results in the Virtual Lab to match the course notes. The data files are not the same. You should find the demo step instructions for the Virtual Lab inside the class. There is typically an "Open Demo Steps" icon for demos and "Show Solution" for the exercises that will show you the steps to follow in the Virtual Lab.
