Given a set of N points in k-dimensional space, can you find the location that minimizes the sum of the distances to the points? The location that minimizes the distances is called the geometric median of the points. For univariate data, the "points" are merely a set of numbers $${p_1,
A previous article describes the metalog distribution (Keelin, 2016). The metalog distribution is a flexible family of distributions that can model a wide range of shapes for data distributions. The metalog system can model bounded, semibounded, and unbounded continuous distributions. This article shows how to use the metalog distribution in
Since 2008, SAS has supported an interface for calling R from the SAS/IML matrix language. Many years ago, I wrote blog posts that describe how to call R from PROC IML. For SAS 9.4, the process of installing R and calling R from PROC IML is documented in the SAS/IML
