SAS offers over 25 common probability distributions supported in various functions like PDF, CDF, QUANTILE, and RAND. For less common distributions, users can implement these functions themselves using tools like PROC FCMP in Base SAS.

MyDataWork POV — SAS's flexibility in allowing users to implement zero-inflated distributions is a boon for data professionals who need to tailor their statistical models. This capability emphasizes the importance of adaptability in enterprise AI, where no single vendor can meet every specific requirement. By empowering users to customize their tools, SAS acknowledges that real-world data work is complex and requires a mosaic of solutions, not a monolithic system.
