SAS KNIME A script-oriented 4GL programming language A Script-free environment in four major parts: comprised of • The DATA step • Nodes and Connectors • Procedure steps • A macro language, • Metanodes and Flow variables for packaging a metaprogramming language • ODS statements

• GUIs: are most often front-ends • GUI is the interface to facilitate SAS Program script generation

• Through Proprietary Technology “Provide it all” • Through Open Source “Provide it all”

All rights reserved. 11 Community / 3rd Some 3rd party nodes are charged Accessing Data SAS Data can be read Each Node directly has a specific dialog

Huge Range of Read (and write) nodes available

At no cost.

Tables available at every node. Manually execute, start, stop, test nodes and sequences

Nodes for columns, rows, matrix

ETL can be mixed and matched with all other nodes.

No Separate Progrmming step required

Drag and Mark nodes, Right Click, Collapse into Metanode

To create a Metanode that can be reused

The Access and Transform Metanode we created

Applying Color to Attributes

KNIME nodes for transforming

Calling your Favorite External Packages such as Java, Python, Matlab, SQL, REST, Or your favorite Database

Calling SAS either Locally or Remotely. Automatically passing Data into and out of SAS

Controlling how that happens with Flow Variables and Quickforms

No Macro Code. No SCL. No Java. No Other Programming Language required.

Many nodes For Exploring and Visualizing

All that allow Marking and highlighting across all nodes No seperate package required. Other packages can be used if available Copyright © 2013 by KNIME.com AG. All rights reserved. KNIME User Training 24 Be Open to All Methods, and let the best model win !!!

• KNIME Decision Tree • KNIME Logistic Regression • R Decision Tree • PMML model (from SPSS) • Other Methods • Weka • KNIME Uplift (courtesy of Dymatrix) • SAS

• Missing Management • Partitioning • Binning and Bagging • Boosting • Logic and Flow Control • Cross Validation • Feature Elimination • Feature Selection • Error Handling

KNIME examples available for all these techniques….

Or use the built-in and Free BIRT open source BI Tool

Score any Database Or how about scoring (including Hadoop) straight into SAS via Proc SQL and the (commercial) node from Dymatrix?

Use the PMML on another system (Such as ADAPA)
