R is a freely available
language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. Using
the open architecture of SAS Model Manager, you can register and import
R models. SAS Model Manager requires a model template file and model
component files that are created specifically for R models.
The following SAS components
are required to use R models in SAS Model Manager:
-
SAS/IML. You must license
SAS/IML
because the IML procedure is required to export SAS data sets to R
and to submit R code.
-
the RLANG system option. You must
set this system option.
SAS Model Manager supplies
three R model templates that you can use, or you can create your own
using the SAS Model Manager Template Editor. The R model templates
that are provided by SAS Model Manager support the analytic, classification,
and prediction model functions. The segmentation model function is
not supported for R models.
After the model component
files are registered, you can perform all SAS Model Manager functions
except for exporting an R model to the SAS Metadata Repository.
To use R models in SAS
Model Manager, do the following tasks:
-
Ensure that the RLANG
system option is set. To have the RLANG system option set when SAS
starts, have your site administrator add the RLANG system option to
the SAS configuration file.
-
SAS/IML must be installed
before you build an R model.
