SAS Optimization

SAS^® Optimization

Analysts, data scientists, and other optimization professionals can identify actions that will produce the best results with this programming entry point, running on the SAS® Viya® platform. By accessing the LP, MILP, QP, conic, NLP, constraint programming, network, and black-box solvers from SAS® clients or from clients other than SAS (Python, Lua, Java, and R), you can leverage the speed, scalability, and elasticity of the SAS in-memory environment. SAS Optimization requires SAS® Visual Analytics and includes SAS/OR®.
