Can SAS Visual Analytics be used to depict pathways for structural equation modeling and analyze data for the model? If yes, please provide resources to learn more on how to use SAS Visual Analytics.
Structural equation modeling is available but through programming currently. Here is the current documentation for the latest version of SAS Viya: https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/v_039/statug/statug_introcalis_toc.htm
Does Ted have a formal background in Emotional Psychology?
Although he does not, he has many years of SAS Visual Analytics experience working with customers from varying industry groups. He has experienced many a dashboard that is short lived and others that catch attention and spur action.
This webinar was originally advertised as being loosely based on publicly available research by Doctor Brené Brown. Can you elaborate on that?
Doctor Brené Brown studies human connection. Ted finds the parallels to computer software, the differing usage personas of computer software, and the interaction amongst these usage personas to be fascinating and inspiring. So thus why he came up with this webinar. He also gives credit to the various other SMEs as well who are linked on each one of his slides.
Early in Ted’s presentation, was he saying NEVER to use something like MS-Excel. Why?
Ted is suggesting NOT to ONLY use something like MS-Excel and NOT to MOSTLY use something like MS-Excel when it comes to invoking emotion with your dashboards.
Which of these recommendations are possible with older versions of SAS Visual Analytics and which require newer releases?

When do you feel AI will take over data processing, data analysis, and data storytelling through effective and efficient visualizations?
https://www.sas.com/en_us/company-information/innovation/responsible-innovation.html
What would you say to report builders whose responsibility it is to only present info, not persuade the report consumer to any particular action, that is, the consumer is responsible for what, if any action, is indicated by the data?
Data owner(s) <-> Report owner(s) <-> Report decision maker(s) should work together as to the best Calls to Action ideally.

Is it part of Base SAS and SAS Stat license? Or needs an additional license?
In SAS 9.4, SAS Visual Analytics was a separate license.

Hopefully 😊
