Statistical Programming with SAS/IML Software
If you've ever wondered what a matrix programming language would look like on steroids, then look no further. Rick Wicklin's new book,Statistical Programming with SAS/IML Software, reveals all in describing SAS/IML Studio. The straightforward matrix calculating machine SAS/IML finds itself embedded in the object-oriented world of SAS/IML Studio with the ability to link objects, call R functions and SAS procedures, and produce stunning interactive graphics. With these new tools, only your imagination and programming abilities stand between you and any statistical calculation. --Charlie Hallahan, Mathematician, Economic Research Service, USDAThis book really expanded my view of SAS/IML and IMLPlus. Not only does it contain excellent descriptions of basic language constructs, but the text also explains object-oriented programming techniques and methods of integrating with languages such as R or Java. Statistical Programming with SAS/IML Software is an excellent reference for those new to SAS/IML or seasoned programmers looking to optimize existing code or improve data visualizations. Overall, it is a great addition to any SAS user's bookshelf. --Dr. Sarah Kreider, Veteran industry software engineer, University of ColoradoThe book covers many of the SAS/IML subtleties and tricks with plenty of examples needed to become a good SAS/IML programmer. The author has done a great job delivering the vital information in a lucid language that makes it a perfect reading. --Deepak Khugher, Senior SAS Programmer
