The section Syntax Common to SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning Procedures describes the common syntax elements that are supported by some of the procedures in this book. In some cases, individual procedures implement these common elements in slightly different ways. When this occurs, the differences are described in the respective procedure chapters.

The section Details for SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning Procedures provides details that are common to some of the procedures in this book.
