Getting started with your session
Login credentials and group numbers can be found in the My Reservation tab on the SAP TechEd Virtual
Hands-On Workshops website (https://saptechedhandson.sap.com/).
Important: Some of the sessions use place holders for users (e.g. CD300_XX) or objects (e.g.
ZCD400_Exercise_##). The place holders XX or ## must be replaced with your assigned group number,
which you find in the My Reservation tab on the above mentioned website.

BEFORE YOU START

In the Hands-on session RDP267 you have the opportunity to select your exercises depending on your
personal area of interest. However, you find the solutions to all exercises as reference this way you can
also see the solution of the exercises you did not finish.
Due to time constraints during the Hands-on session, it is recommended that you first take a look at the
different exercises and then decide which ones you want to work through first.

INITIAL SETUP
During the exercises, you will work on a SAP HANA system with the following system properties:
Host name:
coe-he-084.wdf.sap.corp
Instance number:
10
SAP System ID (SID):
M31
Database user name:
RDP267_# (# = your assigned student ID, maybe 1 or 2 digits)
Password:
Initial1
Database Schema
RDP267
Student exercise package RDP267.sessionX.# (X = your assigned session number, # = student ID)
Solution package
RDP267.solution
As preparatory steps, make sure a connection to the backend SAP HANA database system is defined with
your assigned user (RDP267_#).
Explanation
1.
Start the SAP HANA Studio (by clicking on the

desktop icon for it.
2. Open the Development Perspective from the

SAP HANA Studio start screen
Either Open Development from the overview

screen
or
select from the studio menu:
Windows > Open Perspective > other
> SAP HANA Development
For the virtual Hands-on workshops the user and

password is unique and was changed before you get
access to the system.
Therefore the password of the secure store needs to
be recovered/unlocked.

CHAPTER 3
In this chapter we will perform Hands-on Exercises to run our trained predictive models
Estimated time: 20 minutes
Objective
The objective of this chapter is give you an understanding of the fundamentals of the HANA/R connectivity
through a real-life example and application of a widely used statistical method.
What you will learn
How to use R Studio for the Generalized Linear Model (GLM)

How to create a HANA SQL Script that calls an R GLM Algorithm

We now want to extract the data we

need for developing statistical
models from HANA. This requires
setting the parameters, but also
creating the necessary connections.

Explanation
Generalized Linear Models can be
viewed as an extension to
Regression Models in that they allow
2 fundamental additions:
They allow for the error models to

be extended beyond the
normality assumption.
They allow for a generic use of
categorical variables (as opposed
to continuous variables).
In the current example we are using

a categorical binary variable
(ONEYEARSURVIVAL) and are
modeling it with the AGE_DIAG
which is the age at which a specific
patient was diagnosed with cancer.
In other words: we are trying to
measure the effect that the time of
diagnosis has in life on the
probability of someone surviving a
year.
1.) The first section of the output we
see here explains the main
characteristics of the Residuals
distribution.
2.) Following it, the estimates of the
parameters are provided, with an
estimated standard error, a z value
and a p-value associated to it.
3.) Then the deviance section + the
AIC (Akaike Information Criterion)
are given. In theory, the deviance
has a Chi Squared distribution. The
smaller the deviance, the better the
model. Similarily the AIC represents
a goodness-of-fit statistic that allows
to evaluate the model adequacy.
4.) The Number of Fisher Scoring
iterations equals the number of times
the convergence criterion function
had to be evaluated for the method
to obtain the numerical result.

Explanation
22.
For the generation of predictions, the
function "predict" is used, indicating with
which model the values are to be
created.
In the window showing the script, select
the region depicted here (just that one
line) and click "Run".
23. In the Console window, type in

the text View(predicted1) an hit the
Enter key.
This allows you to view the predicted
values.

the result set. Maximize it by clicking

Explanation
There are four more models

provided for you to test (model2
through model5). You are welcome
to test these using the techniques
described previously, and are invited
to attempt to interpret the results.
Now that we have developed the

model in RStudio, we want to use it
in HANA and are going to develop
an R procedure that is directly
embedded and executable in HANA.
For that purpose:
29. Go back into the SAP HANA
Studio. Click the button in the upper
left for the Modeler perspective. In
the SAP HANA Systems area in the
upper left, Right mouse click on your
system connection M31

represents your student number.

Here you will be creating the data of
patients that are going to be scored
with the created model. The new
table will also contain the prediction.
39. Go back to the code and copy

the part, where the R procedure is
created. Go back to your SQL
console.
40. Paste the code and replace all

XX with your user ID. Now run it.
Here you are creating the R
procedure. Note that we took the
code we created in RStudio to
perform this action.

results you will now see the
predicted values!
