The HP4SCORE Procedure

PROC HP4SCORE Statement

PROC HP4SCORE DATA=<libref.>SAS-data-set <data-options> ;

The PROC HP4SCORE statement invokes the procedure.

DATA=<libref.>SAS-data-set: names the SAS data set to be used for scoring by PROC HP4SCORE. This argument is required.
SEED=n: specifies the seed for generating random numbers, where n is a nonnegative integer. The IMPORTANCE statement uses random numbers to randomly assign branches during the calculation of variable importance. Set n to 0 to use the internal default, which is 8,976,153.

If the data are already distributed, PROC HP4SCORE reads the data alongside the distributed database. The different nodes then independently read the data rows, score them, and write them back. For information about the various execution modes, see the section Processing Modes; for information about the alongside-the-database model, see the section Alongside-the-Database Execution.
