SAS Products

Base SAS

The basic building block for all SAS System areas: data access, data management, data analysis, data representation, and a rich and productive programming environment.

SAS/STAT

Includes a wide range of statistical capabilities. These statistical techniques have been programmed into easy-to-use SAS procedures.

SAS/GRAPH

SAS/GRAPH software is used to represent information in full-color grahics or for generating presentation graphics. The software can be used to generate standard or customized charts, plots, and maps. Graphics output can be stored in an on-line catalog. The software user can display multiple graphs on a single page and route output to a wide selection of graphics devices including graphics terminals, plotters, printers, and slide production equipment.

SAS/ETS

Includes procedures for performing time series extraction, data management, and plotting; forecasting and time series analysis; modeling and econometrics; and financial reporting.

SAS/IML

SAS/IML software is an interactive matrix programming language facility for mathematical programming, analysis, and manipulation. The most widely used data management, mathematical, and matrix operators are built directly into the software. SAS/IML software offers a high-level programming approach similar to APL, but easier to use. Users have a complete programming language with features for arithmetic and character expressions, data input and output, control of execution, and program modularization.

SAS/EIS

SAS/EIS addresses both the development and presentation aspects of Executive Information Systems. SAS/EIS software allows for the rapid development of high-level information delivery systems. The software allows for total integration of an EIS application from transparent data access and management to decision support analysis to sophisticated presentation of results, all through a graphical user interface. The software is designed to tie data and applications together, and to provide sophisticated navigational capabilities.

SAS/OR

SAS/OR is an operations research tool used for critical path analysis, linear programming, and project management. The software can be used to solve transportation problems and determine minimum cost flow, maimum flow, and shortest path through a network. Project scehdulres can be plotted on a Gantt chart using the high-resolution plotting procedures. The software also features network drawing, graphing capabilities, and a menu-driven interface.

SAS/QC

SAS/QC software provides tools for statistical quality control and design of experiments. The software includes full-screen menu environments that lead users through a wide range of quality improvement tasks. The software can be userd to organize quality improvement efforts, design experiments for product and process improvement, apply Taguchi methods for quality engineering, establish statistical control of a process, maintain statistical control and reduce variation, analyze process capability, and develop and evaluate acceptance sampling plans.

SAS/CALC

SAS/CALC software is a fully-featured spreadsheet ideal for financial anaylsis, numerical modeling, and corporate-wide consolidation and management.

SAS/FSP

SAS/FSP software includes procedures for full-screen interactive data entry, editing, querying, and letter writing. The software's screen painting capabilities can be used to create customized data entry screens. The software handles any amount of data and serves as an on-line tracking system for those who need to scan and update information quickly and easily.

SAS/AF

SAS/AF software is used to interactively develop menu-driven front-ends to applications. Menus and fill-in-the blank screens can be tailored to the experience level of the user. The software includes procedures for constructing screens and controlling the user's path through an application. SAS Institute used theis software to create the SAS/ASSIST interface.

SAS/INSIGHT

SAS/INSIGHT software is a highly interactive tool for graphical data analysis. The software enables users to explore data through a variety of graphic displays (i.e. bar charts, scatter plots, three-dimensional rotating plots). All observations are linked, so changes in one graph show immediately in all others.

SAS/LAB

SAS/LAB software is an interpretation and suggestion-driven data analysis product. An interactive menu suggests analysis paths and general interpretations of the data and output.

SAS/CONNECT

SAS/CONNECT software is a convenient vehicle for uploading and downloading all kinds of SAS data including data sets, full-screen catalogs, graphics catalogs, and data from previous SAS releases- as well as external files such as text or binary. A connection between two SAS sessions gives users the ability to transfer data between sessions and across hardware platforms. This same connection provides remote submission capabilities; specifically, SAS statements can be sent from the local session to the remote session for execution. The SAS System supports many different modes of communication across multiple hardware platforms. Various network hardware supported includes Token Ring, Fiber, and Ethernet.

SAS/ACCESS

SAS/ACCESS software is an ongoing commitment by the Institute to provide direct and transparent interfaces between the SAS System and the most widely used data management products. You can read in data from your DBMS, store data from the SAS System directly into your DBMS, and update values in a database directly from the SAS System- all without risk to data security.

SAS/ASSIST

SAS/ASSIST software is a menu-driven interface to many of the data access, management, analysis, presentation, and applications development capabilities described in the previous SAS products.

SAS/ENGLISH

SAS/ENGLISH software is used for easy queries of data. Through an interactive menu SAS/ENGLISH builds SQL queries that can find, order, and summarize data. The software uses a knowledge base that describes the data in terms of real-world concepts, relationships, and vocabulary.

SAS/GIS

SAS/GIS software provides for access and management of TIGER, DIME, DLG, and DXF data, display of detail maps, the ability to analyze data for greater map detail and handle applications like automoted mapping/facilities management, demographic marketing, routing, and redistricting.
