Do you want to create data analysis reports without writing a line of code? This book introduces SAS Studio, a free, web-based data science product for educational and non-commercial purposes. The power of SAS Studio lies in its visual, point-and-click user interface, which generates SAS code. It is easier to learn SAS Studio than to learn R and Python to accomplish data cleaning, statistics, and visualization tasks.

The book includes a case study analyzing the data required to predict the results of presidential elections in the state of Maine for 2016 and 2020. In addition to the presidential elections, the book provides real-life examples, including analyses of stock, oil, and gold prices, crime, marketing, and healthcare. You will see data science in action and how easily it can be performed using complicated tasks and visualizations in SAS Studio.
