Duration: 1.0 day
Course fee:
EPTO units: .
CEUs: 0.6

This course teaches you how to use the IML procedure via the programming language. You will benefit from this course if you plan to use SAS/IML for matrix manipulations or if you plan to use it to implement statistical, econometric, or operations research methods.

Learn how to

explicitly assign values to a new matrix
create a matrix from a SAS data set and create a data set from a matrix
control which rows and columns are read from (or written to) a data set
use matrix operators and functions in assignment statements
use IML commands to control the programming environment
use subscript operators to summarize and subset matrices
use iterative and conditional processing to control program flow
write, store, and retrieve IML modules.

Who should attend

SAS programmers, statisticians, econometricians, engineers, or others who manipulate data using matrix operators and matrix algebra
