SAS Software and Astronomy

SAS is a remarkable programming language and set of software tools for data mining, exploration, statistical analysis, analytics, reporting, and web presentation. It is particularly well-suited for sifting through massive quantities of data. For example, the U.S. Census Bureau makes heavy use of SAS.

It is thus surprising that astronomers have not yet discovered the power of SAS. I'd like to help change that! As an observational astronomer since 1977 and a SAS programmer since 1985, I am your ideal candidate if you are looking for a better way to process and present your astronomical data. Please e-mail me if you'd like to begin a dialog.

Astronomically yours,

David Oesper
