Data Mining Using SAS Applications

Most books on data mining focus on principles and furnish few instructions on how to carry out a project. Data Mining Using SAS Applications not only introduces concepts but also enables readers to understand and apply data mining methods using downloadable SAS macro-call files. These techniques stress the use of visualization for studying the structure of data and the validity of statistical models. With the SAS macro-call files, readers explore: techniques for creating training and validation samples; exploratory graphical techniques; frequency analysis for categorical data; unsupervised and supervised learning methods; model validation techniques; and how to convert PC databases to SAS data.
