Hi,
Is there any HP procedure for Stochastic Gradient Boosting? (ex: for proc logistic - there is proc hplogistic)
How can we check whether SAS license we have includes HPA or not?
With HPA capability, is there any improvement if SGB can run much faster?
Thanks a lot.
You probably want an answer that you can apply today, and I hope someone here will respond with that. Have you seen this paper about ensemble models in SAS Enterprise Miner? It includes a section about gradient boosting (PROC TREEBOOST).
In the near future, SAS Viya Data Mining and Machine Learning will offer PROC GRADBOOST. You can read about it here in this early preview group. The SAS Viya platform supports in-memory processing across multiple cores. Hope that gives you a glimpse of what's coming...
Just want to follow up on Chris' reply... the paper he refers to mentions the Gradient Boosting node in SAS Enterprise Miner that you can use, but there is currrently no HP gradient boosting procedure or node.
Good news: We've extended SAS Hackathon registration until Sept. 12, so you still have time to be part of our biggest event yet – our five-year anniversary!
Use this tutorial as a handy guide to weigh the pros and cons of these commonly used machine learning algorithms.
