Authors	Abstract
Danny Modlin	Are you new to using SAS procedures for statistical analysis? Has it been a while since you were in your last statistics course? Are you wondering what are the differences among various procedures used in data exploration and modeling? This presentation is perfect for you! We start with a look at data exploration through procedures like PROC MEANS, PROC UNIVARIATE, etc. We then move to modeling using PROC REGSELECT, PROC GLMSELECT and more. We complete our discussion with categorical data analysis using PROC FREQ, PROC LOGISTIC, and PROC LOGSELECT. This presentation will consider both SAS 9 procedures and CAS enabled procedures within SAS Viya.
