Hello, I am creating a decision tree model in SAS EMINER for which I have 2 different datasets, training and validate. Scenario 1: I use only train dataset (I set the role of the training dataset to 'TRAIN') it gives a specific result Scenario 2: I include the validation dataset (where I set the role of the validation dataset to 'VALIDATE') and I use the same exact training dataset from Scenario 1, but I get different model results from Scenario 1. Can anyone kindly explain the reason behind this? I am assuming SAS Eminer tries to give the best possible model from the dataset I use as an input. I think if I only give EMINER a training dataset (Scenario 1), it would give me results according to that one dataset only, BUT when I give them 2 separate datasets (TRAINING and VALIDATION, in Scenario 2) then EMINER would try to fit the best possible model where the model accuracy is consistent in both the datasets, which is why I could be getting different model results in both the Scenarios. I wanted to confirm this or if there is any other reason behind this. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!
