General Information  This seminar covers Linear Programming with SAS  SPSS, SAS, and Mathematica are available in Weir Student Lab, Weir 107, and several other labs around campus  We’ll look at an example of a regression and an example of a regression using SAS

General Information  SAS performs statistical analysis, including OR  SPSS performs statistical analysis and is similar to SAS  Mathematica’s main function is to perform mathematical operations including statistics  MathWorks is similar to Mathematica and is available on willow and sweetgum

General Information  IT staff will assist users to access these packages. We also assist users to find the proper procedure to analyze their data. If you need assistance please send to Sam Gordji at or

Today We’ll Cover  Before looking at Linear Programming with SAS we’ll look at SAS programming. *.log, and *.lst files  We’ll look two examples of Linear Programming using SAS
