This week we are going to do something completely different, and take a look at regression and “estimation” tasks with PROC REG and PROC SCORE. 

Regression and estimation is a big topic and while linear regression is a bread-and-butter tool, there are a number of other methods that will allow you to perform regression tasks. My goal is to show you the mechanics and process necessary for estimation/regression modeling , i.e the LAZY Data Scientist’s approach for modeling, and leave the details to future classes.
