This has been an exciting week. I have written my first SAS program. I have also learned some really cool tricks in manipulating data in SAS. I wish we used this at work. I have re-learned a ton about probabilities, and brushed up on some statistics.
The data wrangling process in SAS is amazingly straight forward. It works in steps, just like I normally think about transforming data. If I were working in Excel, I would basically apply the same logic and transformation process. Once I get the syntax down this is going to be fun. I am again amazed how SAS processes one line at a time. I use monstrous data sets at work and our biggest limiters are environmental issues with processing. I can’t wait to try some things that I do at work in the SAS environment
