The first part of the course utilizes the Data Step; the second part looks at SAS SQL, and the third part looks at Macro Programming/Programs. The author has added a section on SAS predictive modeling using logistic regression. Here, we will build a SAS Model. In other words, we will build a predictive model (also known as predictive analytics) while following critical principles to ensure we get things right.
This course is also developed to help you become SAS Certified Specialist: Base Programming certified.
By the end of this course, you will learn how to code in the SAS programming language, to help you start a career/gain employment, or move up at your current company. If you are studying SAS at a post-secondary institution, this course can not only help you with school projects but prepare you for a career after you complete your education.
