Viya 2020.1: SID New ‘Compare Scenarios’ Feature
There are a few new features coming to Intelligent Decisioning in the new version of SAS Viya (2020.1 and beyond). An interesting one is the ability to compare different scenarios. Scenario analysis has wide applications in fields from finance to politics to energy and beyond. Let's take an early look at this new functionality and see what it has to offer. . . . . .
How to Use it
Once your Decision or Rule Set is configured , go to the Scoring tab and select the new Scenarios sub-tab. Setup your scenarios just like tests but specify only input values, no input tables. Once your scenarios are complete and run, compare them as shown below with the Compare -> Results pick.
