| (This course is not currently scheduled.) |
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
