A data scientist runs PROC HPNEURAL for regression. Which option correctly specifies that the output layer should use a linear (identity) activation function for a continuous target?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation and Infographic
Here's the deal — c is correct because PROC HPNEURAL automatically selects the appropriate output activation function based on the target type: linear (identity) activation for continuous (LEVEL=INTERVAL) targets and logistic activation for binary targets. The data scientist does not need to explicitly specify the output activation.

Full Explanation
C is correct because PROC HPNEURAL automatically selects the appropriate output activation function based on the target type: linear (identity) activation for continuous (LEVEL=INTERVAL) targets and logistic activation for binary targets. The data scientist does not need to explicitly specify the output activation. A and D use syntax that, while plausible, are not required because PROC HPNEURAL handles this automatically. B incorrectly uses the HIDDEN statement for the output layer.
