About the webinar

The Distributed Open Source Code (DOSC) node enables forecasters to use native Python or R code and preferred packages in a seamless way.

This webinar will provide a high-level overview and interactive demo of the new DOSC node recently made available within SAS Visual Forecasting.

You will learn:

  • Why SAS Visual Forecasting is embracing open source.
  • How the open source program is distributed to efficiently process multiple time series.
  • How to conveniently write compatible open source programs.
  • What output data and results are available after running the node.
  • How the node seamlessly integrates with the standard features of SAS Visual Forecasting.
