SAS A00-240 Exam - Topic 1 Question 68 Discussion

Actual exam question for SAS's A00-240 exam

Question #: 68
Topic #: 1

[All A00-240 Questions]

The PROC LOGISTIC options SELECTION=SCORE and BEST=2 are used in a MODEL statement to generate a series of predictive models. The models are assigned numbers in order from 1 to 99 reflecting the fact that there are 50 candidate input variables. Results from the collection of derived models are used to generate the following plot of overall average profit by model number. Results are restricted to models with at least 9 inputs and at most 40 inputs.

The maximum value for the training data occurs for model number 46, and the maximum value for the validation data occurs for model number 43.

If you base model selection solely on overall average profit, what is the correct choice?

ASelect model 46

BSelect model 43

CSelect model 45

DSelect model 21

I think model 45 could be a dark horse here!

I thought we were supposed to look at both training and validation data, but model 46 seems to be the clear winner for training profit.

I practiced a similar question where we had to choose based on validation metrics, so I think model 43 is the best option here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like model 46 had the highest training profit, which could be misleading.

I remember that model selection should prioritize validation performance, so I think model 43 might be the right choice.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between confidentiality and identification. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think the answer is B. ERROR$ seems like the most intuitive table name for storing error records, but I could be wrong.
