strange numbers in the P_ column (scoring/insight)

[woodlumn]

Hello,

I am attempting to score my regression model within Enterprise Miner and am getting weird numbers in the two right-most columns (P_respondY and P_respondN).

I have done this successfully in the past, and these numbers have looked like probabilities/percentages (such as .432 etc). This time, I'm getting results like 5.545485E-02.

What might be happening here? I'm stuck.

Thank you very much,

John

5.5E-02 is only 0.05, so it's not necessarily wrong.
Apply a format to the column, say percent10.4 and see what it looks like then...

No worries.
In case you don't know this:-

5.5E-02 = 5.5 x 10 to the power -2 = 5.5/100

SAS generally decides (if it hasn't been specified) the best format (something like BEST12. or BEST32.) for the number. For really small numbers, it'll use scientific notation as above to show the most detail.
