This course covers nine regression methods. The models include linear, logistic, quantile, generalized linear, generalized additive, mixed, survival, nonlinear, and partial least squares. The applications, strengths, and weaknesses of each method are discussed, along with how the methods are implemented in SAS Viya. A comparison of the SAS Viya procedures and SAS/STAT procedures for each method is also shown. Examples in the course show applications in banking, financial services, direct marketing, insurance, telecommunications, medical, and academic fields.
The self-study e-learning includes:
- Annotatable course notes in PDF format.
- Virtual lab time to practice.
