Shared Concepts

Introduction to Shared Concepts

SAS Visual Statistics procedures run on SAS Viya. One component of SAS Viya is SAS Cloud Analytic Services (CAS), which is the analytic server and associated cloud services. The following subsections describe how to set up and use CAS sessions.

The section Syntax Common to SAS Visual Statistics Procedures describes the common syntax elements that are supported by some of the actions in this book. In some cases, individual actions implement these common elements in slightly different ways. When this occurs, the differences are described in the respective action chapters.

The section Details for SAS Visual Statistics Procedures provides details that are common to some of the actions in this book.

The examples in this chapter are written in the CASL programming language.
