ModelOps, your new best friend
SAS Model Manager provides a proven ModelOps tool to deploy, govern, and manage all types of models. Easily combine several different models into projects by model function or by publishing destination depending on the group or repository. It's also language-agnostic! Bring you SAS, Python, and R models under one paradigm where you can build once, deploy anywhere, and automatically monitor model performance.
The SAS Support Community presents the eleventh installment of its trivia event, The SAS Bowl, featuring ModelOps. We don't expect everyone to be experts, but a basic understanding of the underlying technology will only enhance and expand your SAS experience.
The event is scheduled for Tuesday, August 10, 2021, at 3 PM ET.

Agenda SAS and R and SAS - Barry DeCicco, Michigan State University SAS and R both have considerable flexibility to access each other's capabilities. This allows SAS users to stay in SAS, but to access R when needed. R, in turn, can access SAS (and many other languages), allowing R users to access SAS as needed. This presentation will explain and demonstrate how to run SAS jobs which access R data sets and commands, and then how to run R jobs which access SAS data sets and commands. The code used will be made available. We are always looking for speakers for future meetings - please contact us if you are interested in presenting!
Watch for announcements of later webinars on the MSUG website! We are actively recruiting speakers to keep this series going. We are also considering the possibility of offering one or more half-day seminars this fall, and welcome suggestions for topics and/or instructors.
