Question

In SAS Viya, a data scientist submits a CAS action using Python's SWAT package: import swat; s = swat.CAS('myserver', 5570); s.loadactionset('decisionTree'); What does this code do?

Accepted Answer

It connects to the CAS server and loads the decision tree action set so its actions (e.g., dtreeTrain, dtreeScore) become available in the session — Here's the deal — a is correct because swat.CAS() establishes a connection to the CAS server, and loadactionset('decisionTree') loads the decisionTree action set — making its actions (dtreeTrain, dtreePrune, dtreeScore, etc.) available for the current session. B is wrong because loadactionset does not train a model.

Answer

It trains a decision tree model on a dataset named 'decisionTree'

Answer

It creates a CAS caslib named 'decisionTree' on the server

Answer

It imports the SAS DLPy deep learning library for use in the Python session
