2 Lesson 1 Getting Started with SAS® Visual Analytics 1.1 Introduction to SAS Visual Analytics What Is SAS Visual Analytics? SAS Visual Analytics is a web-based product that leverages SAS High-Performance Analytics technologies to empower organizations to explore huge volumes of data very quickly to identify patterns, trends, and opportunities for further analysis.

1.4 Solutions 3 Using SAS Visual Analytics, users can enhance the analytic power of their data, explore new data sources, investigate them, uncover relevant patterns, and create reports. In traditional reporting, the resulting output is well defined up front. That is, you know what you are looking at and what you need to convey. However, data discovery invites you to plumb the data, its characteristics, and its relationships. Reports can then be made available on a mobile device or on the web. In addition, users can create powerful statistical models (if SAS Visual Statistics is licensed) and work with factorization machines, forests, gradient boosting, neural networks, and support vector machines (if SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning is licensed).

4 Lesson 1 Getting Started with SAS® Visual Analytics At the heart of SAS Viya is Cloud Analytic Services (CAS), a server that provides the run-time environment for data management and analytics. It uses scalable, high-performance, multi-threaded algorithms to rapidly perform analytical processing on in-memory data of any size. CAS is designed to run in a single-machine symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) or a multi-machine massively parallel processing (MPP) configuration, supporting multiple platform and infrastructure configurations.

Investigate In the Investigate phase, you inspect the tables to determine whether any changes are needed for data items due to data inconsistencies or data quality issues, as well as identify any new data items that need to be calculated. Prepare In the Prepare phase, you correct any data quality issues and create any new calculated items needed for analysis. Analyze In the Analyze phase, you explore the data to identify any patterns, relationships, and trends. Report In the Report phase, you develop interactive reports that can be shared via the web or a mobile device. Copyright © 2020, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, North Carolina, USA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
