Below, we run a regression model separately for each of the four race categories in our data. The decision tree node also produces detailed score code output that completely describes the scoring algorithm in detail. Methods for statistical data analysis with decision trees.
If you follow the cluster node with a decision tree node, you can replicate the cluster profile tree if we set up the same properties in the decision tree node. Once the relationship is extracted, then one or more decision rules that describe the relationships between inputs and targets can be derived. Advanced modelling techniques in sas enterprise miner.

For a general description on how decision trees work, read planting seeds. In the following example, the varclusprocedure is used to divide a set of variables into hierarchical clusters and to create the sas data set containing the tree structure. Due to the fact that decision trees attempt to maximize correct classification with the simplest tree structure, its possible for variables that do not necessarily represent primary splits in the model to be of notable importance in the prediction of the target variable.
