In no particular order...
- NOTE: Ampersands Again, 31-Jan-2013. I love SAS macros and I was very happy to write a couple of articles at the beginning of the year about the use of multiple ampersands to achieve indirect references to macro variables
- NOTE: High-Availability Metadata, 8-May-2013. V9.4's (optional) introduction of multiple metadata servers was a big step forward for SAS resilience
- Predictive Analytics in the 17th Century, 14-May-2013. I was glad to be able to bring John Gaunt's fascinating work to a wider audience
- NOTE: The OPEN Function (reading data sets in macros), 9-Jan-2013. SAS/AF's SCL language remains a favourite of mine. Using some of the SCL functions in DATA step and macro brings back happy memories! They're useful too. This individual article was part of a short-series I wrote about the OPEN function
- Test Cases, an Investment, 11-Dec-2013. A very recent article, but covering something that doesn't get enough coverage, i.e. re-use of tests for regression testing
- NOTE: Enterprise Guide vs DI Studio - What's the Difference?, 4-Dec-2013. One of my favourite interview questions!
- NOTE: More Agility at SAS, 18-Nov-2013. SAS are a successful software company, so there's always lots to learn by understanding how software development is done at SAS
- NOTE: Interactive Metadata-Bound Libraries (MBLs), 14-Nov-2013. I think that metadata-bound libraries are one of the most significant developments in SAS for quite some time. To see a nice interactive interface as option is just icing on the cake
- Beware the Data Shadow, 24-Apr-2013. Be sure that your sources of data are of good quality and coming from reliable sources
- Animated Graphics, Courtesy of V9.4 SAS/GRAPH, 11-Jun-2013. Hans Rosling's animated statistical presentation on health and income growth across the decades is legendary. In this post I provided a pointer to Rob Allison's treatise on how to do the same (almost) in SAS
