When using Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) to conduct analysis and research you must calculate sample size. The body that governs research at many universities, the Institutional Review Board (IRB), accounts for risk and inaccurate data by requiring a sample size. SAS serves as a popular software for business analytics and intelligence, casino intelligence, IT management, risk management and fraud prevention across a variety of industries such as automotive, communications, insurance and retail.
