When a champion model is replaced by a challenger in SAS Model Manager, what happens to the previous champion?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When a challenger becomes the new champion, you don't trash the old model. SAS Model Manager archives the previous champion, keeping its code, metadata, and performance history for audit, compliance, and rollback.
Full Explanation
The archived champion choice is correct because SAS Model Manager keeps complete model version history. When a challenger is promoted, the prior champion is archived, not deleted, preserving code, metadata, and performance history for audit trails, regulatory compliance, and rollback. Permanent deletion to save storage is wrong because models are not deleted. Automatic retraining on newer data is wrong because archived models are not automatically retrained. Indefinite parallel production scoring as a backup is wrong because that describes a deliberate champion/challenger setup, not default archiving.
