01. Which of the following is not true about results produced by the Regression node?
a) Model Information provides you with information that includes the number of target categories and the number of model parameters.
b) Variable Summary information identifies the roles of variables used by the Regression node.
c) Type 3 Analysis of Effects provides you with information about the number of parameters that each input contributes to the model.
d) Fit Statistics can provide information that affects decision predictions, but does not affect estimate predictions.
02. 1. Create a project named Insurance, with a diagram named Explore.
2. Create the data source, DEVELOP, in SAS Enterprise Miner. DEVELOP is in the directory c:\workshop\Practice.

4. Set the measurement level for the Target variable, Ins, to Binary.
5. Ensure that Branch and Res are the only variables with the measurement level of Nominal.
6. All other variables should be set to Interval or Binary.
7. Make sure that the default sampling method is random and that the seed is 12345.

04. Which of the following is not a good reason to”regularize” input distributions using a simple transformation?
a) Another benefit is ease in model interpretation.
b) One benefit is improved model performance.
c) When you perform regression, inputs with highly skewed or highly kurtotic distributions can be selected over inputs that would yield better overall predictions.
d) Regression models are sensitive to extreme or outlying values in the input space.
