Implement Randomized SVD in SAS

In the 2010 SASware Ballot®, a dedicated PROC for Randomized SVD was among the options. While an official SAS PROC will not be available in the immediate future as well as in older SAS releases, it is fairly simple to implement this algorithm using …

"Entrywise" Norm calculation using PROC FASTCLUS

In some data mining applications, matrix norm has to be calculated, for instance [1]. You can find a detailed explanation of Matrix Norm on Wiki @ Here

Instead of user written routine in DATA STEP, we can obtain “Entrywise” norm via PROC FASTCLUS ef…

Tweak PROC FASTCLUS for 1-Nearest Neighbor / Closest Match

In most table lookup tasks, we are doing EXACT matching. However, sometimes we are looking for closest match in the lookup table. By ‘closest’, we mean smallest Eucleadian distance:

||X-Y||2

Typically we have to manually code the search function …
