SAS - anyone here work with it etc?

tcfreer · 14 Jul 2014 at 13:43

Start of this year I managed to start what to me is a dream I've had for a couple of years

I got that chance to learn and be trained up on SAS.

I just wondered who else is use's this and were has it taken you?

I'm hoping once I've spent 2/3 years learning it and becoming more adapt with it that I can move forward with it - maybe some were out of the Uk who knows?

Any inspiration out there for me to look at?

Inspiration....Who dares wins

The airline company? They're all about "Service and Simplicity."

Be wary though, they've had their fair share of accidents in their time.

Are you talking about the business analytics software?

Special Air Service?

RoyMi6 · 14 Jul 2014 at 13:55

You've joined the San Antonio Spurs? Good effort!

You're training to be one of the Surfers Against Sewage?

Good job!

Lokai · 14 Jul 2014 at 13:58

Good on you, I've always held Surfers Against Sewage in high regard.

Edit. Tooo slow !

School of Advanced Study looks interesting...

Sequence Annotated by Structure is a handy tool for looking at protein structures..

*goes to page 3 of Google results*

Ahh! Sense About Science! Always found that interesting! Good effort!

I would love to have worked with Shearer and Sheringham.

It's worth getting trained up on any analytical tool if the opportunity presents itself. (assuming you mean "Statistical Analysis System").

While I've only briefly used SAS I've been using SPSS & SQL for a number of years now & it's hugely improved my employment prospects & earnings potential.

If you are interested in data management, data manipulation, analysis, & statistical modelling/analytics's then it's worth a shot.

The SAS has a reserve squadron based in the North East. You can apply to join.

G-MAN2004 · 14 Jul 2014 at 14:06

I'd love to be in the SAS. Congrats OP.

Arsonist · 14 Jul 2014 at 14:09

Oh Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), really useful for moving data to and from computer storage devices such as laptops and PCs. Very helpful if you're wanting to learn things about computers.

EDIT: elmarko, you ruined this thread too early.

Bunch of jokers rofl

yeah the Statistical Analysis System is what I meant (Sorry should have been clear in the first place)

I've always liked getting big data sheets ( started small with 1Gb and now onto xxxx GB of the stuff) and making actual usable information from it for people, give them real insight into whats going on rather then listening to people's 'gut says we are doing well' rubbish.

I know a lot of people find it very boring but its intresting to me, and its forefilling to see the differanc eit can make - positive and negative to a thought proccess

hmm... I thought "Special Air Service" at first but then you would be dismissed for revealing that
