Product Description
Product Description
SAS/IML software can be a powerful tool for data analysts, as it allows implementation of statistical algorithms that are not available in any SAS procedure. Rick Wicklin's Statistical Programming with SAS/IML Software is the first book to provide a comprehensive description of the software and how to use it. He presents tips and techniques that enable you to use the IML procedure and the SAS/IML Studio application efficiently. In addition to providing a comprehensive introduction to the software, the book also shows how to create and modify statistical graphs; call SAS procedures and R functions from an IML program; and implement such modern statistical techniques as simulations and bootstrapping methods in the SAS/IML language. Written for data analysts working in all industries, graduate students, and consultants, the book includes numerous code snippets and more than 100 graphs.

Comprehensive and Well Written, Dec 7 2010
By Betsy Enstrom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Statistical Programming with SAS/IML Software (Perfect Paperback)
Statistical Programming with SAS/IML Software by Rick Wicklin is an impressive book that uses the SAS/IML language and the new SAS/IML Studio product to illustrate both statistical programming and various applications such as bootstrap methods, sampling and simulations. The book provides you with an excellent reference for the SAS/IML language and the newly developed integration with the R language. The presentation style, many carefully designed examples, and sample code make this book very readable and easily extendable to your own programming needs. It will prove to be an invaluable reference both to a new SAS programmer and also to someone who has used the software for years and now wishes to learn about the new functionality and features.

A nice book, July 7 2011
By Charlie Huang - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Statistical Programming with SAS/IML Software (Perfect Paperback)
Thanks to Rick's new book about SAS/IML, I realized that SAS/IML is far beyond PROC IML, and it added an advanced IML language called IMLPlus that enjoys many new features. With this book, I also start to play with SAS/IML Studio, an IDE exclusively for IMPlus in addition to the SAS enhanced editor we are familiar with.The author has a blog and keeps posting three times a week. The URL is [...]. Recently I try to translate the codes by Matlab and R into SAS through PROC IML. If there is any hurdle in this porting process, I can always find tips from Risk's resourceful blog. The first three chapters of his book about PROC IML are also good reference.
The enhanced version of PROC IML, IMLPlus, can call SAS's procedures within it. Rick gave a number of illustrations in the 3, 12-14 chapters of his book. This is especially useful for high performance computation.
Data analyst with statistics background tend to use SAS and R simultaneously. The book also talks about how to call R's function in Chapter 11.
I am a DATA Step programmer, and I occasionally use SAS/IML. I had a lot of fun in studying SAS/IML this summer. SAS/IML Studio is a friendly environment to write code. And IMLPlus provides a different perspective to think about SAS programming. Although SAS/IML has a higher learning curve, for those who are willing to learn SAS/IML, the book `Statistical Programming with SAS/IML Software' is classical.
