A financial services manager wants to assess the probability that certain clients will default on their Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). A former employee left the code listed below.

The training data set is named HELOC, while a similar data set of more recent clients is named RECENT_HELOC.
Which SAS data steps will calculate the predicted probability of default on recent clients? (Choose two.)

Suggested Answer: C

Are we sure this code is even valid? Looks sketchy.

Definitely A and C, no doubt about it!

Wait, why are we using two different datasets? Seems odd.

I think Option B could work too, not sure about A.

Looks like Option A and C are the right picks!

I’m pretty confident that Option B is one of the answers, but I’m not sure about the second one. I wish I had reviewed the code examples more thoroughly before the exam.

I think we need to apply the model from the HELOC dataset to the RECENT_HELOC dataset. I remember something about using the OUTPUT statement to get predicted probabilities.

I'm a bit unsure about which options to choose. I feel like both A and C could be correct, but I can't recall the exact syntax we used in class.

I remember we practiced a similar question about predicting defaults using logistic regression. I think we need to use the RECENT_HELOC dataset for the predictions.

This seems straightforward. I'd use the SCORE procedure to apply the model from the HELOC data set to the RECENT_HELOC data set and get the predicted probabilities.

I'm a bit confused by the different data sets and the code. I'll need to spend some time understanding the relationship between the HELOC and RECENT_HELOC data sets before I can confidently answer this.

Okay, I think I've got this. We need to use the RECENT_HELOC data set and apply the model from the HELOC data set to calculate the predicted probability of default.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the code and data sets to determine the best approach.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The key is to use the SCORE procedure to apply the model from the HELOC data set to the RECENT_HELOC data set, which will give us the predicted probabilities we need.

Employee representatives are usually involved in the job analysis process, so I'm going to go with A - True on this one.

I'm going with Option B and Option D. The code looks like it's designed to apply the model to the RECENT_HELOC data set, so those must be the right choices. Time to move on to the next question!

Let's hope the model works well with the RECENT_HELOC data set, we need accurate predictions for our clients.

Then we can use logistic regression to calculate the predicted probability of default for those clients.

I think we should start by filtering out the recent clients from the RECENT_HELOC data set.

Option A and Option C? Nah, that's just a wild guess. Let me re-read the question and the code closely to find the right answer.

I think Option B and Option D are the correct choices. The data steps shown in the image will apply the model trained on the HELOC data set to the RECENT_HELOC data set, which will give us the predicted probability of default for the recent clients.

Yes, those options will help us apply the model trained on the HELOC data set to the RECENT_HELOC data set.
