The arboretum procedure

The NEURAL Procedure

ARCHITECTURE Statement

Constructs a network with 0 or 1 hidden layers, sets the hidden-unit ACT= and COMBINE=

options, and sets default values for various other options as described below.

Interaction: You cannot override the hidden-unit ACT= and COMBINE= options implied by the

ARCHITECTURE statement, because these are what define the architecture. You can

override all the other values set by ARCHITECTURE by using an INPUT, a HIDDEN,

a TARGET, or a RANOPTIONS statement.

Alias: ARCH

ARCHITECTURE architecture-name

<HIDDEN=n>

<DIRECT>;

Required Arguments

architecture-name

Names the architecture you want to use to construct the network. Only one architecture-name

from the following list can be specified:

GLIM

Requests a Generalized Linear Model.

MLP

Requests a Multilayer Perceptron.

ORBFEQ

Requests an Ordinary Radial Basis Function Network with Equal Widths.

ORBFUN Requests an Ordinary Radial Basis Function Network with Unequal Widths.

NRBFEQ

Requests a Normalized Radial Basis Function Network with Equal Widths and

Heights.

NRBFEH

Requests a Normalized Radial Basis Function Network with Equal Heights and

Unequal Widths.

NRBFEW Requests a Normalized Radial Basis Function Network with Unequal Heights and

Equal Widths.

NRBFEV

Requests a Normalized Radial Basis Function Network with Equal Volume.

NRBFUN Requests a Normalized Radial Basis Function Network with Unequal Heights and

Unequal Widths.

architecture name and RANOPTIONS implied by architecture name.

The NEURAL Procedure

CODE Statement

To score a data set based on a previously trained neural network outside of PROC NEURAL, you

can specify a CODE statement to write SAS DATA step code to a file or catalog entry. This code

can then be included into a DATA step that reads (using a SET statement) the data set to be

scored.

Category Action Statement - affects the network or the data sets. Options set in an action statement

affect only that statement.

CODE FILE=file-name

<ERROR|NOERROR >

<FORMAT=format>

<GROUP=name>

<RESIDUAL|NORESIDUAL>;

Required Arguments

FILE=file-name

Specifies the filename to which the scoring code is written.

Options

ERROR | NOERROR

Specifies whether to generate code to compute the error function.

Default:

NOERROR

FORMAT=format

Specifies the format to use for the weights.

Default:

BEST12

RESIDUAL | NORESIDUAL

Specifies whether to generate code to compute residuals. If you request code for residuals and then

score a data set that does not contain target values, the residuals will have missing values.

Default:

NORESIDUAL
