What kind of statistical models does the HP GLM Node create?

The HP GLM Node is specifically designed to create Generalized Linear Models within the high-performance environment (HP Env) in SAS Enterprise Miner. Generalized Linear Models are a broad class of models that extend traditional linear modeling frameworks to accommodate various types of response variables beyond the normal distribution, such as binary outcomes (using logistic regression) or count data (using Poisson regression).

This capability is particularly useful in predictive analytics and data mining, as it allows analysts to fit models that are suited to the distribution of the dependent variable. The HP GLM Node takes advantage of the high-performance computing capabilities in SAS to efficiently handle large datasets and complex model specifications, enhancing both speed and scalability in the modeling process.

In contrast, the other options refer to functionalities that are unrelated to the HP GLM Node's purpose.
