SAS - SOFTWARE FOR PHARMACEUTICALS

Statistical analysis is playing an increasingly important role in all fields of human life. We are often faced with the problem of analyzing and interpreting a large mass of data. Like many industries, the pharmaceutical industry has a vocabulary and language all its own. The role of statistical programmers is to use their superior
technical and programming skills in order to allow clinical trial statisticians to perform their statistical analysis duties more efficiently. This may involve importing and exporting data, working other information technology professionals on site and at other companies, derive variables and creating analysis data sets, and creating clinical study report (CSR) materials consisting of tables, figures, and listing (TFL).

 SAS enables programmers to perform:

• Information retrieval and data management
• Report writing and graphics
• Statistical analysis, econometrics and data mining
• Business planning, forecasting, and decision support
• Operations research and project management
• Quality improvement
• Applications development
• Data warehousing (extract, transform, load)
• Platform independent and remote computing
