SAS

SAS, originally an acronym for Statistical Analysis System, began as a comprehensive package for executing statistical analysis. The SAS system is now a flexible information delivery system capable of report writing, data transformation, graphics tasks and statistical analysis. Additionally, SAS supports data access, data presentation and data management. SAS is an integrated applications system. This means that the SAS system is capable of sorting, printing, plotting, analyzing, calculating variances, creating custom reports and performing regressions.

The SAS system allows a user to perform analyses on a Windows PC that were previously only available with more complex machines. SAS for Windows is able to decipher data files from various file formats including Excel, dBase, Lotus, and ASCII Text.

SAS system tutorials are available in this section. These tutorials are provided to inform the computer sciences and information technologies professional on all aspects of SAS. Definitions of SAS terminology, understanding SAS protocols, writing SAS programs, organizing data for analysis and explanations about a wide range of statements are included to increase any serious developer, programmer or IT professional with all relevant knowledge related to SAS. SAS is employed within the Microsoft Windows, Unix, OpenVMS and OS/390 operating environments.
