Is there an alternative solution to obatin a network diagram visualization? - sas

I read in the sas documentation that it isn't allowed to export a network diagram visualization. See links below:
SAS Limitation
SAS export visualization
Is there another way to accomplish a similar result in SAS? I mean, is there a way to obtain a network visualization as portable output?
Thanks

How I can make a prediction in data mining?

I have an Excel file containing the following data.
I want to apply it on Weka by k-nearest neighbor classifier.
How I can make a prediction of the new instance?
How can I set the parameters of this instance to obtain prediction about it?
I don't think you have enough data to work with here. Your model will be wildly inaccurate. If you are starting with machine learning, I would recommend the Iris data set to start with. I started with machine learning here.
If you want to start with Weka, I would use a dataset from researchers, like the MNIST database of handwritten digits which can be found here, and a guide for it in python here. On the same site, there is a tutorial for the Weka gui, if you look hard enough.

Is it possible to plot realtime visualisations using SAS?

I guess the question title says it all... I know it's possible to do such real-time plots in Matlab and Python for example but I'm not aware of any such real-time visualisations in SAS?
It depends on what SAS tools are available to you and how real time you want it. It certainly possible with SAS Event Stream Processing Studio. Another way of doing it is to design a custom SAS stored process with JS front end and then frequently poll data from JS front end to update the graph/plot.

Embed google map in idesign

I design custom travel guides. I am going crazy trying to find a way to insert offline zoomable maps in them. I use indesign CC. So far all I have managed is to embed google maps in the document and export it as an interactive pdf, but it needs internet connection to load the map.
Is there any way to insert offline maps in the document? I would be willing to switch to another software or export format if needed.
I don't know about designs but If you want offline maps then you should use TileMill.Also if you want to explore other options, see this question. Not sure if this will be helpful to you but if you get someone to extract the PNGs for you, I suppose you could make it work.

Best way to build a crystal report with subreports

I have been tasked to create a crystal report that includes non linked subreports. It is meant to replicate the following. I am just having a hard time wrapping my mind around where to begin.
My application consumes a webservice which returns a list of objects for each web query made. I figured that since crystal reports tends to work natively with datasets, that I would create a custom dataset containing all the tables that the queries would involve.
Now that I have created a dataset and the data is loaded from the webservice I am consuming, I have come to a point where I am attempting to figure out how to query the dataset in such a way as to join columns from each datatable and build the report from that query.
Now can someone tell me whether there is an easier way to do this or have any suggestions as to what route they might take to accomplish this? The report needs to include subreports which complicates it a bit more.
I've found that it is cleaner and easier to maintain if you write a stored procedure in your database, and then just use that as your source in Crystal. If you have multiple sets of data to report, use multiple stored procedures. If you're going to have multiple subreports, it helps to have a common set of parameters for the procedures, although that is not required.
By getting your data using stored procedures, you can verify that you're getting the correct data before you write the report. Then Crystal is used mostly for formatting and totalling.

Plotting financial data

I'm implementing some simple machine learning algorithms on some financial data in c++, and would like to be able to present this in a 'professionel' way to a potential customer.
Does anyone know a good framework for displaying financial charts?
Or is there a simple way to do something else like embed gnuplot in a qt widget?
If your customer is in finance, speak to them on their terms. Financial people do things in Excel and Powerpoint. Write your data in comma-separated value format, import this into Excel, create some Excel plots, and pull this into a Powerpoint presentation.
You might think of Excel and Powerpoint as being beneath someone who can develop machine learning techniques. Don't think that way. You are trying to sell a product, you need to speak in the customer's lingo, not your's.
And do check for spelling errors in your presentation. 'Professionel' presentations do not have misspelled words.
