The Viya Operations Infrastructure provides components to collect and store log messages in order to manage a large number of logs enable you to locate messages of interest.
I recently wrote about how to use PROC TTEST in SAS/STAT software to compute the geometric mean and related statistics. This prompted a SAS programmer to ask a related question. Suppose you have dozens (or hundreds) of variables and you want to compute the geometric mean of each. What is
This is probably one of the most commonly asked questions…When can I start dating after I separate from my spouse? This is tricky for many reasons. There are two different scenarios in which we must examine. 1) The person you want to date now was someone you had a relationship

Estimations suggests that 65% of children entering primary school now will be doing jobs that do not yet exist.
In a previous article, I mentioned that the VLINE statement in PROC SGPLOT is an easy way to graph the mean response at a set of discrete time points. I mentioned that you can choose three options for the length of the "error bars": the standard deviation of the data,
This is a popular topic and certainly something that most parents have to grapple with eventually. Often times I hear the discussion framed as “to monitor or not to monitor” and I want to encourage you to think about your child’s safety online in much broader ways. Monitoring is one
