Resource for machine learning with SAS

[Asi9]

I am trying to find a resource to educate my self with machine learning and deep learning using SAS. I have been using SAS for a reasonably long time now, but the tools of machine learning are new for me. I am specifically looking to apply these methods for health care?

Is anybody aware of any good resource available?

Thanks!

Do you have SAS Enterprise Miner or Viya? What applications do you have available to you?

Thank you for your reply.

I am open to either of the two - whichever is more inclusive of the analytical methods and have resources available for help.

There are many great resources for learning about machine learning and deep learning with SAS. Most of the machine learning (and all of the deep learning) offering is based on SAS Viya, but SAS Enterprise Miner (SAS 9 based) has offered a lot of ML modeling algorithms for quite some time.

Here are a few main sites that give overviews and then provide access to other resources:

- sas.com/vdmml (SAS Viya based)

- sas.com/deeplearning (deep learning is only truly supported in SAS Viya)

- https://support.sas.com/en/software/enterprise-miner-support.html (SAS 9 based)

The SAS GitHub repos have good examples and other materials:

SAS Viya based

- https://github.com/sassoftware/sas-viya-machine-learning

- https://github.com/sassoftware/python-dlpy

SAS 9/EM based

- https://github.com/sassoftware/enlighten-apply/tree/master/SAS_EM_ML_examples

You may want to check out these papers/presentations that provide good overviews:
