In der heutigen Zeit macht es immer weniger Sinn, gigantische Datenmengen über das Netzwerk in ein Auswertetool zur Analyse zu übertragen. Der Geschwindigkeitsvorteil einer hoch performanten statistischen Analyse von riesigen Datenmengen wird durch die lange Datenübertragung dieser riesigen Datenmengen wieder zunichtegemacht. An diesem Punkt müssen andere Technologien angewendet werden, um

Graphs enable you to visualize how the predicted values for a regression model depend on the model effects. You can gain an intuitive understanding of a model by using the EFFECTPLOT statement in SAS to create graphs like the one shown at the top of this article. Many SAS regression

El creciente uso de Internet en México y América Latina, ha significado un reto para las empresas de todos los tamaños e industrias, pues se han abierto oportunidades de negocio que les permiten contar con una mayor cobertura y presencia, sin embargo, aunado a ello han llegado los retos de
