Score a new dataset with the HPForest Model

[Xiaoping]

Hi here,

I've used the SAS EM to create predictive models, the best model is the one using Dtree for variable selection and then import to the HP forest. in my case, we need to package the model to re-run in another environments (ie, dep / prod environment).

It looks like that the HPForest node creates the model result in a .bin file, but we cannot see/copy the file in the Unix environment. however,  the bin file can be used to score a new dataset,  we just cannot see it. I've asked our SAS admin person, they said the .bin not created at all. Just wondering, how should we transfer this .bin with the SAS code to another environment (ie, Prod environment) to score new data set?

cheers,

Hi All,

After puzzling about this for some time we found the answer: It seems the length of the file path for the score file is limited to 128. Our file path length is (was) longer than 128 so was being truncated. We 'found' the score file in the path that was 128 characters long.

Mystery solved 🙂
