Description

SAS Programming (Statistical Analysis System) is a programming language for statistical analysis that is useful in various fields and industries for data mining and related data handling. It provides results related to multivariate analysis, predictive analytics. SAS is an integrated software suite for advanced analytics, business intelligence, data management, and predictive analytics.
