Optimization Concepts for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

This course focuses on linear, nonlinear, and mixed-integer linear optimization concepts in SAS Viya. Participants learn how to formulate optimization problems and how to make their formulations efficient by using index sets and arrays. The demonstrations in the course include examples of diet formulation and portfolio optimization. The OPTMODEL procedure is used to solve optimization problems that reinforce concepts introduced in the course.

Apprendre à

• Identify and formulate appropriate approaches to solving various linear, mixed-integer linear, and nonlinear optimization problems.
• Create optimization models commonly used in industry.
• Solve optimization problems using the OPTMODEL procedure in SAS.
