For matrix computation in SAS, SAS/IML is the choice. This module has its own syntax, functions and even plotting subsystem. Some statisticians used it to realize the algorithms beyond the reach of SAS’s procedures, for example, boosting [Ref. 1]. Ho…

Using SAS to find the best k for k-Nearest Neighbor classification
Least-square (regression) and nearest-neighbor are the most fundamental methodologies for supervised classification [Ref. 1]. Even though they are pretty old, they are still popular and widely used in academia and industry. There is a trade-off in comp…
Quasi-Monte Carlo simulation by functional programming in SAS
The concept of functional programming could be next big thing for those data-driven computer languages. Compared with encapsulation, inheritance, overloading, design pattern, and many other must-learn contents based on class and super-class, functions …
