PARTIALDEPEND Procedure

PROC PARTIALDEPEND Features

PROC PARTIALDEPEND provides the following features:

  • computes partial dependence (PD) for machine learning models that produce an analytic store or DATA step code

  • produces a PD plot via ODS Graphics if you specify only one analysis variable

  • computes two-way PD values if you specify two analysis variables

  • provides an OUTPUT statement to produce a data table that contains individual conditional expectation (ICE) values

  • provides a FREQ statement for grouped analysis

  • provides a WEIGHT statement for weighted analysis

Because PROC PARTIALDEPEND runs on SAS Cloud Analytic Services (CAS), it also does the following:

  • enables you to run on a cluster of machines that distribute the data and the computations

  • enables you to run in single-machine mode

  • exploits available cores and concurrent threads
