Contents.Technical overview and terminology SAS is a software suite that can mine, alter, manage and retrieve data from a variety of sources and perform statistical analysis on it. SAS provides a graphical point-and-click user interface for non-technical users and more advanced options through the.SAS programs have DATA steps, which retrieve and manipulate data, and PROC steps, which analyze the data. Each step consists of a series of statements.The DATA step has executable statements that result in the software taking an action, and declarative statements that provide instructions to read a data set or alter the data's appearance. The DATA step has two phases: compilation and execution. In the compilation phase, declarative statements are processed and syntax errors are identified. Afterwards, the execution phase processes each executable statement sequentially. Data sets are organized into tables with rows called 'observations' and columns called 'variables'.

This course introduces experienced SAS programmers to SAS Enterprise Guide. SAS Enterprise Guide is an interface that enables users to write and submit code, as well as to use point-and-click tasks to generate queries, reports, and graphics. With the Mac though, after I click on Start SAS On Demand Software, Enterprise Miner – it downloads a main.jnlp file which when I open it,.
Additionally, each piece of data has a descriptor and a value.The PROC step consists of PROC statements that call upon named procedures. Procedures perform analysis and reporting on data sets to produce statistics, analyses, and graphics. There are more than 300 named procedures and each one contains a substantial body of programming and statistical work. PROC statements can also display results, sort data or perform other operations.SAS macros are pieces of code or variables that are coded once and referenced to perform repetitive tasks.SAS data can be published in HTML, PDF, Excel, RTF and other formats using the Output Delivery System, which was first introduced in 2007. The SAS Enterprise Guide is SAS's point-and-click interface.
It generates code to manipulate data or perform analysis automatically and does not require SAS programming experience to use.The SAS software suite has more than 200 components Some of the SAS components include. See also:In a 2005 article for the comparing statistical packages from SAS and its competitors and, Alan C. Acock wrote that SAS programs provide 'extraordinary range of data analysis and data management tasks,' but were and learn. SPSS and Stata, meanwhile, were both easier to learn (with better documentation) but had less capable analytic abilities, though these could be expanded with paid (in SPSS) or free (in Stata) add-ons. Acock concluded that SAS was best for, while occasional users would benefit most from SPSS and Stata. A comparison by the, gave similar results.Competitors such as and advertise their products as considerably cheaper than SAS'.
In a 2011 comparison, Doug Henschen of found that start-up fees for the three are similar, though he admitted that the starting fees were not necessarily the best basis for comparison. SAS' business model is not weighted as heavily on initial fees for its programs, instead focusing on revenue from annual subscription fees. Adoption According to IDC, SAS is the largest market-share holder in 'advanced analytics' with 35.4 percent of the market as of 2013. It is the fifth largest market-share holder for software with a 6.9% share and the largest independent vendor. It competes in the BI market against conglomerates, such as,. SAS has been named in the Gartner Leader's Quadrant for Data Integration Tool and for Business Intelligence and Analytical Platforms.A study published in 2011 in found that SAS was used in 42.6 percent of data analyses in health service research, based on a sample of 1,139 articles drawn from three journals.
