The course references this library: libname locallib 'home/student/DMML35';    but I am working on my own machine so I don't have access to that library.  Where should I save the course materials?  I tried saving them my users folder  libname locallib '/Users/Training Materials';   But I get  ERROR: Library locallib does not exist.    I do see it on my list of libraries but I can't open it.       ...

Hello Community, I'm at a crossroads and would appreciate your insights. I aspire to work as a biostatistician or data scientist in the pharmaceutical sector, where proficiency in SAS is often a prerequisite. While I haven't used SAS in my previous roles, it seems crucial for roles in the pharma industry. Considering this, do you think it's worth investing 1-2 years to learn SAS for my career goals, or do you foresee a shift towards R/Python in these industries in the near future? Your advice and perspectives are highly valued. Thanks in advance! ... View more

When a gambler decides how much to bet, their decision is influenced by their prior wager outcomes (perhaps they start to double down if they have sustained losses, for example), and I am trying to examine how NFL gamblers' prior betting profits/losses influence their next-round-of-betting behavior.  I need to sum just the profits/losses from last round of completed NFL events. NFL events occur in distinct blocks (e.g., Sunday at 1:00, 4:00, and 8:00, Monday at 8:00, Thursday at 9:00) and last three hours, but bets can be placed any time from a week before the block up until game time. The dataset I am attaching contains only one gambler but there are many gamblers (each uniquely identified by product_account_id), so the sum needs to begin anew when a new product_account_id is reached. As you can see, things get especially messy with rows 89-104. I would also like to set up a structure where I can sum the profits from the last 2, 3, 4, and 5 rounds of betting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.   proc import datafile='C:\SAS_help_request_05112024.xlsx' out=sample_dataset dbms=xlsx;run; ...
