Optimization with SAS Software
Ed Hughes, Trevor Kearney, and Chuck Kelly
This paper describes the nature and purpose of optimization and considers the various types of optimization problems that can be solved with SAS/OR. We explore the value that optimization adds to enterprise data, to a range of analytical technologies and to business intelligence. We look at the unique advantages that SAS software delivers to optimization modelers. We consider the SAS/OR optimization features and see how they make the building and solving of optimization models easier, more transparent and more scalable than ever before.
