PROC LOGISTIC: Coding 0 and 1
The problem of coding 0 and 1 in PROC LOGISTIC PROC LOGISTIC can be used to run logistic regression on a dichotomous dependent variable. Often, these are coded 0 and 1, with 0 for `no’ or the equivalent, and 1 for `yes’ or the equivalent. I…

Implement Boost Algorithm in SAS
algorithms are proven to be very effective data mining tools, either used stand alone, or as a building block to handle nonlinearity, etc. Implementation of Boost algorithm in SAS is not easy to find although it is not difficult to wr…
A Macro for SVD
SVD is at the heart of many modern machine learning algorithms. As a computing vehicle for PCA, SVD can be obtained using PROC PRINCOMP on the covariance matrix of a given matrix withou correction for intercept. With SVD, we are ready to ca…
