Building Machine Learning Models by Integrating Python and SAS Viya

SAS Scripting Wrapper for Analytics Transfer (SWAT), a powerful Python interface, enables you to integrate your Python code with SAS Cloud Analytic Services (CAS). Using SWAT, you can execute CAS analytic actions, including feature engineering, machine learning modeling, and model testing, and then analyze the results locally. This article demonstrates how you can predict the survival rates of Titanic passengers with a combination of both Python and CAS using SWAT. You can then see how well the models performed with some visual statistics. After you install and configure these resources, start a Jupyter Notebook session to get started!
