The example will demonstrate how to read a SAS data set and perform initial analysis and processing of the data. Several statistical analyses will then be performed within EM, including the creation of a traditional statistical analysis involving logistic regression and an alternative statistical analysis using a neural network model. Some options and features available with these statistical techniques will be demonstrated. Finally, we will demonstrate how, based on the analyses performed, to have EM generate traditional SAS code that can be used in SAS outside of EM.
