Although the web and online SAS (R) communities can provide volumes of information for programmers, these resources are often overwhelming and lack a simple path to guide coding SAS. This reference, however, does provide such a path from a data user's standpoint vs. seeing things as a code writer.

Written by an experienced SAS programmer, this book lets SAS coders easily find explanations and clarification to typical programming problems. This book presents practical real-world data analysis steps encountered by analysts in the field. These steps include the following:Getting to know raw dataUnderstanding variablesGetting data into SASCreating new data variablesPerforming data manipulations, including sorting, ranking, grouping, subtotal, total, and percentageStatistical testing under a broad range of logical and conditional settingsData visualizationThroughout this book, statements and codes are accompanied by thorough annotation.

Data-driven insights are a key competitive advantage for any industry today, but deriving insights from raw data can still take days or weeks. Most organizations can't scale data science teams fast enough to keep up with the growing amounts of data to transform. What's the answer? Self-service data.

With this practical book, data engineers, data scientists, and team managers will learn how to build a self-service data science platform that helps anyone in your organization extract insights from data. Sandeep Uttamchandani provides a scorecard to track and address bottlenecks that slow down time to insight across data discovery, transformation, processing, and production. This book bridges the gap between data scientists bottlenecked by engineering realities and data engineers unclear about ways to make self-service work. (hide)
