Important SAS Functions and Procs

In the previous chapter, you learned about some important data manipulation techniques. You will typically take the raw data and prepare it for analysis. Once the final data is ready, you can go ahead with the analysis. The analysis might involve representing simple aggregated tables in meaningful graphs, applying simple descriptive statistics to advanced analytics, and predictive modeling. You may need advanced algorithms and functions to perform the analysis. While learning an analytics tool, it’s vital to know how to use some of the important functions and algorithms.
