Association analysis on Base SAS

[frupaul]

Hi all,

Is it possible to use a data mining technique such as association analysis on Base SAS or Enterprise Guide?

If there is, can someone tell me how to get the macro or algorithm?

Thanks

Hi frupaul,

The easiest is to use the Association node in SAS Enterprise Miner. However, if you want to understand the technical side of Association node, take a look at this document. It describes how how PROC DMDB, PROC ASSOC, and PROC RULEGEN work together.
