9. What is difference between SAS tool and other
statistical tools.
Why SAS is so popular?
There is a lot of difference between SAS and other tools.
SAS is a tool which is a combination of three basic features.
1) It is a reporting tool.
2) It is a ETL (Extraction ,Transformation, Load) tool and
3) It is also a forecasting tool.
whereas the tools other than SAS like
