A00-272 - SAS Certified Visual Modeler Using SAS Visual Statistics 7.4 Certification Summary

A00-272 SAS Certified Visual Modeler Using SAS Visual Statistics 7.4 Certification Questions:


Q 1: Which equation does NOT represent a linear model?

Note: bi are parameters and Xi are variables.


Options:

A: y = b0 + b1X1 + b2X2

B: y = b0 + b1X1 + b2X2 + b3(X1X2)

C: y = b0 + b1X1 + (b2/b1)X2

D: y = b0 + b1X1 + b2X1


Q 2: You perform a logistic regression on a multinomial response variable in SAS Visual Statistics that has 3 levels: Small, Medium, Large. "Large" is specified as the event. Which statement is true?


Options:

A: The other levels are grouped into one non-event. B: An ordinal logistic regression is performed. C: A multinomial logistic regression is performed. D: The other levels are offset to account for exposure.


Q 3: You would like to compare multiple models that you've built in SAS Visual Statistics. Which parameters must be the same for all models being compared? (choose 3)


Options:

A: Data Source B: Assessment Bins C: Model Type D: Event Level E. Response Variable F. Link Function


Q 4: Which model does not produce score code?


Options:

A: Decision Tree using interactive mode B: Regression using interaction effects C: Regression using the group by option D: Decision Tree using the rapid growth option


Q 5: Your company has a dataset loaded into LASR that represents global sales. You are a part of a team of analysts that each have responsibility for a certain region of the world. You decide to create a data source filter to suppress every region but yours. What effect will this have on any new explorations that your teammates create?


Options:

A: It will delete all observations that do not match your region. B: It will have no effect on any observations in the dataset. C: It will suppress all observations that do not match your region. D: It will suppress all observations that do not match their corresponding region.


Q 6: You have a regression model effect that represents the total amount of sales. In addition to that, you would like to create a model effect that represents the average amount of sales. Which option should you use?


Options:

A: Create an aggregated measure using the Avg aggregation on total amount of sales. B: Create a calculated item that divides total amount of sales by the total amount of items sold. C: Create a calculated item by duplicating the original model effect and changing its default aggregation to Average. D: Create an aggregated measure using the Sum aggregation of total amount of sales divided by the Sum aggregation of total amount of items sold.
