This course introduces SAS Visual Statistics for building predictive models in an interactive, exploratory way. Exploratory model fitting is a critical step in modeling big data.

The classroom and Live Web course is appropriate for users of SAS Visual Analytics in SAS Viya 3.5. In e-learning, there is a course for users of SAS Visual Analytics in SAS Viya 3.5, and there is also a course for users of SAS Visual Analytics in SAS Viya 2020.1.

Learn how to use SAS Visual Statistics to

• Perform statistical analysis of data of any size.
• Create a report with pages.
• Determine useful preferences and settings.
• Create segments, or clusters, of input variables.
• Perform regression and logistic regression modeling.
• Perform decision tree modeling.
• Perform stratified model fitting.
• Perform model validation.
• Compare models.
• Generate score code.

Who should attend

Predictive modelers, business analysts, and data scientists who want to take advantage of SAS Visual Statistics for highly interactive, rapid model fitting
