Background and Discussion:
The Office of County Administration - Research and Analysis Division will use SAS statistical software to prepare and analyze large datasets to more efficiently produce reports, complete visualizations, and come up with data-informed recommendations.
Expected Impact:
Increasing the OCA-RAD team's capability to analyze large datasets and produce meaningful recommendations based on data.
Alternative Options:
Not having SAS statistical software will impact the OCA-RAD's ability to efficiently analyze large datasets and produce meaningful recommendations. Some datasets received by the OCA-RAD team have millions of rows, which the team cannot analyze without a software like SAS.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
