Symbolic integration

fpsxv25 — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 13:08:13 GMT

Dear all,

I am looking for a way in SAS Studio to find the symbolic integral of a provided function. For example, if I provide something like integrate(x**2) then I want the response 1/3x**3.

Is this possible in SAS?

Kind regards,

FPSXV

Something like this: https://blogs.sas.com/content/iml/2017/09/11/symbolic-derivatives-sas.html but then with integration instead of derivative

No. SAS does not support symbolic integration. I suggest you try to use WolframAlpha for symbolic integration.

For numerical integration, SAS supports numerical integration methods on finite, semi-infinite, and infinite integrals by using the QUAD function in SAS/IML software.
