Proc hpsplit incomplete result

[Soullevram]

Hi there, I ran the proc hpsplit command on my PC for a dataset and only the performance and data access information results were displayed. However, when someone else ran the same command on his PC, the complete results displayed. Kindly advise.

Hello @Soullevram ,

I think you should show us the LOG.

When you reply :

• copy the LOG
• click the </> icon (tip-text = Insert Code) in the toolbar above the post
• Paste the LOG

That way, the structure and formatting of the LOG is preserved.

I am quite sure we will see :

• some Java errors,
• some errors with com.sas.graphics.applets.statgraph
• and an "ERROR: Physical file does not exist"

Correct?

Best,

Koen

The LOG output didn't indicate any error. The LOG output and result are shown below.

Hello,

Strange 🤔🤔.

Can you run these ... ??

1. SAS/STAT 15.2 User's Guide
   The HPSPLIT Procedure
   Example 67.1 Building a Classification Tree for a Binary Outcome
   (View the complete code for this example.)
   https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/statug/statug_hpsplit_examples01.htm
2. SAS® 9.4 and SAS® Viya® 3.5 Programming Documentation | SAS 9.4 / Viya 3.5
   Visual Statistics Procedures
   The TREESPLIT Procedure
   Example 25.1 Creating a Binary Classification Tree with Validation Data
   https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/casstat/casstat_treesplit_examples01.htm

The TREESPLIT procedure is CAS-enabled
, so it will work as fast as PROC HPSPLIT (even faster if you have multiple nodes).

You might want to contact SAS Technical Support in your country.

Cheers,

I use SAS 9.4. Whenever I run the PROC TREESPLIT command, it says PROCEDURE TREESPLIT not found.

However, I'll try the solution you suggested. Thank you.

Hello,

If you are running SAS 9.4 , you do not have PROC TREESPLIT (which is in Visual Statistics in SAS VIYA release).

You can also try PROC HPFOREST (with a single tree?) or PROC ARBORETUM.

Or you can try Enterprise Miner.

... all available in SAS 9.4 (but not necessarily in your license key).

Best,

Koen
