SAS Exam A00-240 Topic 9 Question 96 Discussion

Actual exam question for SAS's A00-240 exam

Question #: 96
Topic #: 9

This question will ask you to provide missing code segments.

A logistic regression model was fit on a data set where 40% of the outcomes were events (TARGET=1) and 60% were non-events (TARGET=0). The analyst knows that the population where the model will be deployed has 5% events and 95% non-events. The analyst also knows that the company's profit margin for correctly targeted events is nine times higher than the company's loss for incorrectly targeted non-event.

Given the following SAS program:

What X and Y values should be added to the program to correctly score the data?

AX=40, Y=10

BX=.05, Y=10

CX=.05, Y=.40

DX=.10, Y=05

But the profit margin for correctly targeted events is nine times higher than the loss for incorrectly targeted non-events, so X should be higher than Y. That's why I think B is the correct answer.

Ah, a logistic regression problem. Sounds like a job for my trusty calculator and a bit of mental gymnastics!

I disagree, I believe the correct answer is C) X=.05, Y=.40.

Hmm, this question is tricky. The key seems to be understanding the population prevalence and the relative profit margins. I'll have to think this through carefully.
