Network Analysis and Network Optimization in SAS(R) Viya(R)

Course code: VYNA01

This course provides a set of network analysis (graph theory) and network optimization solutions using the NETWORK and OPTNETWORK procedures in SAS Viya. Real-world applications are emphasized for each algorithm introduced in this course, including using network analysis as a stand-alone unsupervised learning technique, as well as incorporating network analysis and optimization to augment supervised learning techniques to improve machine learning model performance through input/feature creation.

The self-study e-learning includes:

  • Annotatable course notes in PDF format.
  • Virtual lab time to practice.
