About:

This course is an introduction to analytic programming, an essential component of business analytics. Analytic programming combines statistical processes and programming to identify meaningful patterns in data as well as construct useful models. Topics include data access, data structures, data management, data functions and structures, reports and error resolution within the context of a statistical analysis framework. This course is aligned to the SAS® Base Programmer Certification.

This graduate-level course is 6 weeks To enroll, speak with an Enrollment Representative.
