procedure, the business analyst's model selection terminated at Step 3.
What happened between Step 1 and Step 2?
DF increased.
AIC increased.
Pr > Chisq increased.
- 2 Log L increased.
correct_answer = "D"
Item 7
The LOGISTIC procedure will be used to perform a regression analysis on a data set
with a total of 10,000 records. A single input variable contains 30% missing records.

How many total records will be used by PROC LOGISTIC for the regression analysis?
Enter your numeric answer in the space below. Do not add leading or trailing spaces
to your answer.

correct_answer = "7000"
Item 8
An analyst is screening for irrelevant variables by estimating strength of association
between each input and the target variable. The analyst is using Spearman
correlation and Hoeffding's D statistics in the CORR procedure.
What would likely cause some inputs to have a large Hoeffding and a near zero
Spearman statistic?

nonmonotonic association between the variables

linear association between the variables
monotonic association between the variables
no association between the variables
correct_answer = "A"
Item 9
An analyst builds a logistic regression model which is 75% accurate at predicting
the event of interest on the training data set. The analyst presents this accuracy
rate to upper management as a measure of model assessment.
What is the problem with presenting this measure of accuracy for model
assessment?
This accuracy rate is redundant with the misclassification rate.
It is pessimistically biased since it is calculated from the data set used to train the
model.
This accuracy rate is redundant with the average squared error.
It is optimistically biased since it is calculated from the data used to train the model.
correct_answer = "D"
Item 10
Refer to the exhibit:

For the ROC curve shown, what is the meaning of the area under the curve?
percent concordant plus percent tied
percent concordant plus (.5 * percent tied)
percent concordant plus (.5 * percent discordant)
percent discordant plus percent tied
correct_answer = "B"
