Statistical Analysis System (SAS): Level 01

SAS (previously called "Statistical Analysis System") is a statistical software suite developed by SAS Institute for data management, advanced analytics, multivariate analysis, business intelligence, criminal investigation, and predictive analytics. Providing a scalable, integrated software environment designed for data access, transformation, and reporting, it includes a fourth-generation programming language; ready-to-use programs for data manipulation, information storage and retrieval, descriptive statistics and report writing; an object-oriented language for advanced data manipulation (DS2); a federated query language (FedSQL); and a powerful macro facility that reduces programming time and maintenance issues. SAS was developed at North Carolina State University from 1966 until 1976, when SAS Institute was incorporated.
