I don't know much about SAS, nor how much coding you could do in it,
but fitting a circle to a set of data points would be trivial for a
genetic algorithm. Frankly, I don't understand why GA's aren't used
more often, especially as they are limited by the weaknesses of 
least-squared error systems. Anyway, I'd specify the circle as
x and y of the center, and r, the radius.
