    SAS (Statistical Analysis System) is a software suite developed by SAS Institute for advanced analytics, multivariate analyses, business intelligence, data management, and predictive analytics.

    • SAS is a software suite that can mine, alter, manage and retrieve data from a variety of sources and perform statistical analysis on it.
    • SAS provides a graphical point-and-click user interface for non-technical users and more advanced options through the SAS programming language.
    • SAS programs have a DATA step, which retrieves and manipulates data, usually creating a SAS data set, and a PROC step, which analyzes the data.

    What is Clinical SAS?

    • SAS is widely used in clinical trial data analysis in pharmaceutical, biotech and clinical research companies.
    • SAS programmers play an important role in clinical trial data analysis. In addition to doctors and clinicians who collect clinical trial data, the group conducting data analysis includes statisticians, clinical data managers
      (COMs) and SAS programmers.
    • Statisticians provide the ideas and methods of the data analysis, clinical data managers manage the collected data and control the data quality. In between, SAS programmers implement the analysis methods on the collected data and provide the study summary tables, data listing and graphs to the statisticians and/or clinicians to write study report.
    • SAS programmers work closely with statisticians and data managers. They provide the link between raw data and the analysis.
