IML Introduces Interferon Product for Cattle

Product Development for Estrous Synchronization : Beef Cattle

Physiological principals underlying synchronization of estrus identified 1) hormones naturally controlling the estrous cycle of cattle, 2) hormones commercially available, 3) mode of action of the hormones commercially available, and 4) when/how they might be used to manage estrus and breeding of beef cattle. The products available are progestogens (melengestrol acetate (MGA) and progesterone d...

Multidimensional arrays in SAS/IML Software

This paper describes a data structure and a set of SAS/IML modules for handling multidimensional arrays in a flexible way. The data structure provides variable names and labels for the levels of the table for all dimensions, along with the table data. The processing modules ilustrate: Generalized transpose of a multidimensional array, as in APL. Applying a reduction operation over specified coo...

IML: An image markup language

Image Markup Language is an extensible markup language (XML) schema used to describe both image metadata and annotations. It describes both data pertaining to an entire image, and data that are tied to specific regions or features of the image. Developed for a specific domain in Medical Education, this pa-per describes extensions to take advantage of the Dublin Core metadata standard, and of an...

Pathobiology introduces a new category.

SAS/IML Function Modules for Multivariate Random Sampling

For certain kinds of statistical simulations and Bayesian analyses, it is necessary to generate random samples from multivariate distributions. SAS/IML software provides the RANDGEN function for generating random samples from univariate distributions. However, the only subroutine for sampling from multivariate distributions is SAS/IML’s VNORMAL call, which samples from multivariate normal distr...
