Dummy coding in SAS

Here is a macro to generate binary features (also called dummy coding) from a nominal variable (also called a categorical variable, such as eye color). The automation saves time and avoids mistakes when there are many possible values to a category or …

Train neural network in R, predict in SAS

This R code fits an artificial neural network in R and generates Base SAS code, so new records can be scored entirely in Base SAS. This is intended to be a simple, elegant, fast solution. You don’t need SAS Enterprise Miner, IML, or any other spe…

Model decision tree in R, score in SAS

This code creates a decision tree model in R using party::ctree() and prepares the model for export it from R to SAS, so SAS can score new records without invoking R. I use this method for several reasons. First, it’s convenient for my workflow t…
