Data simulation is a fundamental technique in statistical programming and research. Rick Wicklin's Simulating Data with SAS brings together the most useful algorithms and the best programming techniques for efficient data simulation in an accessible how-to book for practicing statisticians and statistical programmers. This book discusses in detail how to simulate data from common univariate and multivariate distributions, and how to use simulation to evaluate statistical techniques. It also covers simulating correlated data, data for regression models, spatial data, and data with given moments. It provides tips and techniques for beginning programmers, and offers libraries of functions for advanced practitioners. As the first book devoted to simulating data across a range of statistical applications, Simulating Data with SAS is an essential tool for programmers, analysts, researchers, and students who use SAS software.
The SAS® Certified Specialist Prep Guide: Base Programming Using SAS® 9.4 prepares you to take the new SAS 9.4 Base Programming -- Performance-Based Exam. This is the official guide by the SAS Global Certification Program. This prep guide is for both new and experienced SAS users, and it covers all the objectives that are tested on the exam. New in this edition is a workbook whose sample scenarios require you to write code to solve problems and answer questions. Answers for the chapter quizzes and solutions for the sample scenarios in the workbook are included. You will also find links to exam objectives, practice exams, and other resources such as the Base SAS® glossary and a list of practice data sets. Major topics include importing data, creating and modifying SAS data sets, and identifying and correcting both data syntax and programming logic errors. All exam topics are covered in these chapters: Setting Up Practice Data Basic Concepts Accessing Your Data Creating SAS Data Sets Identifying and Correcting SAS Language Errors Creating Reports Understanding DATA Step Processing BY-Group Processing Creating and Managing Variables Combining SAS Data Sets Processing Data with DO Loops SAS Formats and Informats SAS Date, Time, and Datetime Values Using Functions to Manipulate Data Producing Descriptive Statistics Creating Output Practice Programming Scenarios (Workbook)
Explore powerful SAS analytics and the Internet of Things!The world that we live in is more connected than ever before. The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of mechanical and electronic devices connected to one another and to software through the internet. Businesses can use the IoT to quickly make intelligent decisions based on massive amounts of data gathered in real time from these connected devices. IoT increases productivity, lowers operating costs, and provides insights into how businesses can serve existing markets and expand into new ones.Intelligence at the Edge: Using SAS with the Internet of Things is for anyone who wants to learn more about the rapidly changing field of IoT. Current practitioners explain how to apply SAS software and analytics to derive business value from the Internet of Things. The cornerstone of this endeavor is SAS Event Stream Processing, which enables you to process and analyze continuously flowing events in real time. With step-by-step guidance and real-world scenarios, you will learn how to apply analytics to streaming data. Each chapter explores a different aspect of IoT, including the analytics life cycle, monitoring, deployment, geofencing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, condition-based maintenance, computer vision, and edge devices.
