Part 1:Analytical Programming
![Page 4: BAS 150 Lesson 1 Lecture](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5884ab851a28ab76798b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Programming (coding) to collect, explore and present large amounts of data to discover underlying patterns, trends and insights using statistical software.
Statistics are applied every day – in research, industry and government – to become more scientific about decisions that need to be made.
Data-driven decisions vs “Gut Driven” decisions
What is Analytical Programming?
![Page 5: BAS 150 Lesson 1 Lecture](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5884ab851a28ab76798b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
This course introduces statistical software for analytics
Topics include utilization of analytical and statistical software packages for data management, data visualization, and exploratory data analysis.
Upon completion, students should be able to use statistical programming tools to conduct descriptive analytics.
Essential for making data-based decisions in EVERY field.
Analytical Programming (1 of 3)
![Page 6: BAS 150 Lesson 1 Lecture](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5884ab851a28ab76798b5a6b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The course has five distinct parts:
1) Getting started with analytical programmingo Logic o Technology
2) Foundational programming skillso Nuts and bolts of programmingo Fostering good programming habitso Getting external data sets into SASo Constructing an analysis data set

Still the most frequently used business analytics tool today. 91 of the top 100 companies on the 2015 Fortune Global
500® are SAS customers. SAS says that the #1 most valuable career skill is the
understanding of their data analysis software. This skill commands the highest salary premium at SAS (+6.1%).o “Money and PayScale analyzed 54 million employee profiles across
350 industries, with 15,000 job titles—from entry-lefvel workers to top execs. The stuydy compared people with the same title, age, location and experience, isolating the specific skills (from a universe of about 2,300) correlated with higher pay, advancement, and career opportunity.” (Source)
