Scoring models

Once you have specified your scoring details, you can preview a sample of the model scores. This is especially useful when you have a large dataset since it enables you to quickly check that the scoring results appear as you expect, without having to wait for the entire dataset to be scored.

Note: If the data is found to be invalid or incomplete, a warning is displayed when you attempt to preview it.

The preview shows data as a table that displays records by row and variables by columns.

Scoring

To establish how many records will be scored, click the refresh icon. This provides a count of the number of records that will be used to build the model, taking into account the total number of records in the data source and any optional settings you specify.

When you click Score Now, a progress bar is displayed across the bottom of the tab. You can stop scoring at any time while this is displayed.

Notes:

If the data is found to be invalid or incomplete, a warning is displayed when you attempt to score it.

When scoring to a database, the execution is pushed back to the database whenever possible (often referred to as "SQL pushback"). Note that if the project includes a rule that contains a reference to a model, the execution will not push back to the database.

Once the data is successfully scored, a message informs you where the results have been stored--either in the database or file you specified--and the Scoring Summary Report section provides a summary. See the topic Scoring summary report for more information. If you chose to send the scoring output to a flat file, and if an administrator has enabled the functionality, you can download a local copy of the file if desired.
