Visual Analytics with SAS® Viya®: Special Collection
Foreword by Rob Collum
SAS® Visual Analytics is a business intelligence and analytics platform that provides visual exploration and discovery, self-service analytics, and interactive reporting for organizations of all sizes. All organizations have a wide variety of users, and each user needs something different from data and analytics. SAS Visual Analytics allows everyone to easily discover and share powerful insights that inspire action.
Several useful papers have been written to demonstrate how to use these techniques. We have carefully selected a handful of these from recent Global Forum contributions to introduce you to the topic and let you sample what each has to offer.
