SAS Stat Studio: A Programming Environment for High-End Data Analysts

Overview

SAS Stat Studio 3.1 is new statistical software in SAS 9.2 that is designed to meet the needs of high-end data analysts - innovative problem solvers who are familiar with SAS/STAT and SAS/IML but need more versatility to try out new methods. Stat Studio provides a rich programming language, called IMLPlus, that blends an Interactive Matrix Language (IML) with the ability to call SAS procedures as functions and to create customized dynamic graphics. For standard tasks, Stat Studio provides the same interactive graphics and statistical capabilities available in SAS/INSIGHT, and so it serves as a programmable successor to SAS/INSIGHT.
