The scatterplot is one of the most ubiquitous, and useful graphics. It’s also very basic. One of its shortcomings is that it can hide important aspects of the marginal distributions of the two variables. To address this weakness, you can add a histo…

Example 8.41: Scatterplot with marginal histograms
The scatterplot is one of the most ubiquitous, and useful graphics. It’s also very basic. One of its shortcomings is that it can hide important aspects of the marginal distributions of the two variables. To address this weakness, you can add a histo…
NOTE: SYSTASK Is Great, If You’re Allowed To Use It! (XCMD)
In my previous posting I featured the SYSTASK statement as a great means of executing operating system commands in parallel. Statements such as SYSTASK and CALL SYSTEM allow any operating system command to be executed and so they can be dangerous …

One Week Down
A few things I learned during my first few days: Learning the data (aka Medical Billing Terminology) is going to be the toughest challenge. The one-week SQL crash course was a very good idea. Not having access to the TAB key makes code styling a pain. (SAS on Unix hints?) I really need reading glasses. […]
Desktop Files for Launching SAS Apps on Ubuntu
Whilst I often use the command line on Linux, it’s also nice to have icons in the menus to start SAS® applications like SAS Management Console and SAS Display Manager. These days I mostly use GNOME Do as an application launcher (its a bit like Quicksilver for Mac OS X). Naturally I like to be […]
