Statistical Programming using SAS :
Statistical Analysis System (SAS) is a software developed by SAS Institute. It is a powerful software
for data management, business intelligence, advanced analytics and more. The pharmaceutical
industry heavily depends on SAS programming for data manipulation and statistical analysis.
There will be more data in the health care industry to analyze because all the data including the
pre-clinical and clinical trial data become standardized. Nowadays Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) requires SAS transport files generated by SAS XPORT. Due to the current involvement in the
pre-clinical and clinical trials, the role of SAS programmers will expand.
