This section applies to actions in the following action sets: bart, clustering, gam, mbc, mixed, quantreg, and regression.
The store or saveState parameter saves the context and results of the statistical analysis. The resulting analytic store has a binary file format that cannot be modified. An example of using analytic store technology is to perform a time-consuming analysis and to store its results by using the store parameter. Later you can perform specific statistical analysis tasks based on the saved results of the previous analysis, without having to fit the model again. The contents of the analytic store can be processed by the ASTORE procedure (see Chapter 4, ASTORE Procedure (SAS Viya: Machine Learning Procedures)) and the astore action (see Chapter 4, Analytic Store Scoring Action Set (SAS Viya: Machine Learning Programming Guide)). There may also be other actions in your action set that use the restore parameter to perform other tasks on your analytic store.
