SAS/INSIGHT Features Not Available in SAS/IML Studio

The following list presents general features of SAS/INSIGHT that are not included in SAS/IML Studio:

• SAS/INSIGHT can be launched from SAS DMS mode (from the SAS program editor, from the Solutions Analysis menu, or from the SAS command line).

• SAS/INSIGHT shares the libraries and catalogs defined in DMS mode.

• SAS/INSIGHT automatically recomputes analyses (including curves on graphs) and statistics if data are changed.

• SAS/INSIGHT supports recording an interactive session for later playback.

The following list presents features of SAS/INSIGHT data views (tables and plots) that are not included in SAS/IML Studio.

• multiple plots in a single window

• "renewing" a plot or analysis

• GUI support for animation

• changing the orientation of plots

• changing the formats of table cells after the table is created

• saving tables to data sets after they are created

• changing the attributes of a curve after it is created

• user-defined formats

• a "Tools window" for rapidly changing attributes of markers and curves

• a mechanism to set a common view range for all plots that display a given variable

• multiple plots (for example, BY-group plots and scatter plot matrices) in a single window

The following list presents features of SAS/INSIGHT analyses that are not included in SAS/IML Studio.

• adding or deleting curves, graphs, variables, and tables from existing analyses without explicitly rerunning the analysis

• "group" variables for the analysis of BY-groups

• "freezing" an analysis for easy comparison with subsequent analyses

• sliders for interactively varying parameters in models

• creating a plot of a parametric cumulative distribution function

• a kernel smoother for scatter plot smoothing

• maximum redundancy analysis

• biplots for many multivariate analyses
