The DO Loop
Statistical programming in SAS with an emphasis on SAS/IML programs
A SAS programmer asked for help on a discussion forum: "My SAS session will not display any tables or graphs! I try to use PROC PRINT and other procedures, but no output is displayed! What can I do?" The most common reasons why you might not see any output when
When I was writing Simulating Data with SAS (Wicklin, 2013), I read a lot of introductory textbooks about Monte Carlo simulation. One of my favorites is Sheldon Ross's book Simulation. (I read the 4th Edition (2006); the 5th Edition was published in 2013.) I love that the book brings together
I've previously shown how to use Monte Carlo simulation to estimate probabilities and areas. I illustrated the Monte Carlo method by estimating π ≈ 3.14159... by generating points uniformly at random in a unit square and computing the proportion of those points that were inside the unit circle.
