Please forgive me for this question but I need to get clarification on a matter.    Annually in December for planning, I visit SAS & JMP sites for updates on SAS Certifications.    I noticed this cert is ending next year:    Advance Predictive Modeling, https://www.sas.com/en_sa/certification/credentials/advanced-analytics/advanced-analytics-professional/advanced-predictive-modeling-exam.html    I have two questions here:    1.
