RECENGINE Procedure

SAVESTATE Statement

SAVESTATE RSTORE=libref.data-table;

The SAVESTATE statement creates an analytic store for the model and saves it as a binary object in a data table. You can subsequently use the analytic store in the ASTORE procedure to score new data. For more information, see Chapter 4, ASTORE Procedure.

You must specify the following option:

RSTORE=libref.data-table: specifies a data table in which to save the analytic store for the model. libref.data-table is a two-level name, where libref refers to the library, and data-table specifies the name of the output data table. For more information about this two-level name, see the DATA= option and the section Using CAS Sessions and CAS Engine Librefs.

The input scoring data table for PROC ASTORE must include the user ID column that you specify in the USERID statement. Also, this table can have some or all of the user features from the input user feature table that you specify in the DATA= option of the USERFEATURE statement, as well as some or all of the context features that you specify in the CONTEXT statement. Furthermore, the values of user features can be missing in the input scoring table.

Note: An existing user is a user who has a record in the input table that you specify in the DATA= option of the PROC RECENGINE statement. If the value of a feature for an existing user in the input scoring table is missing, its value is retrieved from the file that is specified in the RSTORE= option at the time of scoring. Also, for an existing user, if the value of a user feature in the input scoring table is different from the value of that feature in the user feature table, the value in the scoring table is used for scoring.
