Hello, and Welcome

1

The SAS Training Post is born, and introductions are in order. I'm Catherine Truxillo, but everyone except my mom calls me Cat. I have been a statistician in the Education division at SAS since 2000. I've been blogging a little longer than that, although this will be the first I've ever mentioned of work.

My posts will largely deal with statistical analysis using SAS, although I plan to cast a wide net to business applications of analytics, research methodology, puzzles, and an insider's view of life in building H in Cary, where most of the SAS Statistical Training department are based. And let's quell the rumors right now: yes, we wear shoes. Almost every single day.

You are welcome to lurk, but I prefer you to drop me a note. I welcome your comments and look forward to connecting you with statistical training at SAS.

  1. Hi Cat -
    just came across your YouTube video (2011) on segment profiling / clustering. Perfect 'pitch' (right speed, sufficient detail, no 'fluff')! Looking forward to exploring your other posts!
