SAS/IML and SAS/IML Studio Papers and Presentations

• Write Custom Parallel Programs by Using the iml Action
  Rick Wicklin and Arash Dehghan Banadaki; SAS Institute, 2017

  This paper introduces the iml action, which is available in SAS Viya 3.5. The iml action supports most of the same syntax and functionality as the SAS/IML® matrix language that SAS software has supported for decades. With minimal changes, most programs that run in the IML procedure can also run in the iml action.

• More Than Matrices: SAS/IML Software Supports New Data Structures
  Wicklin, Rick; SAS Institute, 2017

  This paper describes new data structures and shows how you can use them to emulate other structures such as stacks, associative arrays, and trees.

• Writing Packages: A New Way to Distribute and Use SAS/IML Programs
  Wicklin, Rick; SAS Institute, 2016

  This paper describes how SAS/IML programmers can construct, upload, download, and install packages.

• Outlier Detection Using the Forward Search in SAS/IML Studio
  Polfliet, Jos; SAS Institute, 2016

  This paper shows the power of SAS/IML Studio as an interactive tool for exploring and detecting outliers using customized algorithms that were built from scratch.

• Ten Tips for Simulating Data with SAS
  Wicklin, Rick; SAS Institute, 2015

  This paper presents 10 techniques that enable you to write efficient simulations in SAS. Examples include how to simulate data from a complex distribution and how to use simulated data to approximate the sampling distribution of a statistic.

• Getting Started with the SAS/IML Language
  Wicklin, Rick; SAS Institute, 2013

  This paper introduces the SAS/IML language to SAS programmers who are familiar with elementary linear algebra.

• Rediscovering SAS/IML Software: Modern Data Analysis for the Practicing Statistician
  Wicklin, Rick; SAS Institute, 2010

  This paper presents short programs that implement modern data analyses in SAS/IML software.

• An Analysis of Airline Delays with SAS/IML Studio
  Wicklin, Rick; SAS Institute, 2009

  A massive set of data was assembled from the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) which coordinates the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) research programs. The data consist of 123 million records of U.S. domestic commercial flights between 1987 and 2008. Each flight contains information about 29 variables. The paper graphically presents ways in which flight delays and cancellations vary in time, among airports, and among airline carriers.
