Is there a data dictionary for dataset ACCEPTS?

mkhatami — Fri, 30 May 2025 13:44:20 GMT

Hi all,

I am wondering if a data dictionary for the dataset "ACCEPTS" is available. I am planning to use it as a teaching material and would like to have a description of the variables. Alternatively, if can point me to the source of the data, I can look for the description there.

Kind regards,

Mostafa

A lot more context and information would be very helpful here.

Is ACCEPTS a SAS data set, or just some other type of data set? Where did you get it from? Does it come from SAS in one of their training courses; is it an industry standard data set that people download?

Please explain all of this.

Hello Paige. Thanks for the reply. It is a dataset available in SAS Viya Visual Analytics.

I'm not familiar with a dataset called ACCEPTS that comes with SAS Visual Analytics. Are you sure this is a SAS provided table, and if so which product it might be part of?

For Visual Analytics, there is a CAS LIbrary called Samples that has several sample tables in it you might be able to use instead. I'm not aware of a data dictionary for any of them though but that might be intuitive enough to understand. They are described here:
