SAS: More open than you might think

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

SAS presents a more open stack: SAS Viya as a unified analytics architecture, an open SAS Jupyter kernel on GitHub that returns pandas-like tables (SAS C tables) and reads from S3/HDFS, and runtime options on-prem, cloud or Docker. A distributed data step parallelizes across servers, and a demo trains a decision tree on the Kaggle Titanic set where 83% importance is assigned to sex and passenger class is the second strongest predictor.
