The fundamental units in the SAS/IML language are matrices and vectors. Consequently, you might wonder about conditional expression such as if v>0 then.... What does this expression mean when v contains more than a single element? Evaluating vector expressions When you test a vector for some condition, expressions like v>0
The SAS/IML language supports both row vectors and column vectors. This is useful for performing linear algebra, but it can cause headaches when you are writing a SAS/IML module. I want my modules to be able to handle both row vectors and column vectors. I don't want the user to
SAS provides several ways to compute sample quantiles of data. The UNIVARIATE procedure can compute quantiles (also called percentiles), but you can also compute them in the SAS/IML language. Prior to SAS/IML 9.22 (released in 2010) statistical programmers could call a SAS/IML module that computes sample quantiles. With the release
