Book Description
This updated edition shows how to use the SAS System to perform basic statistical analysis. General topics include creating a data set with the SAS System; summarizing data with descriptive statistics, frequency tables, and bar charts; comparing groups (t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and nonparametric analogues); performing basic linear regression (lines, curves, and two-variable models); performing simple regression diagnostics (residuals plots, studentized residuals); and creating and analyzing tables of data. Using real-life examples, this beginner's guide bridges the gap between statistics texts and SAS documentation.
Supports releases 6.07 and higher of SAS software.

Reader ReviewsI am in the second semester of a two semester design of experiments sequence and I have just started using this book. It's been very helpful. At the moment I am using chapter 9 to help me with the Multiple Regression homework. It helps out in two ways, it has nice, readable instructions on SAS, using relevent, but not overly complex examples, and the way it covers Statistics, using those examples, makes the concepts significantly easier for me to grasp than the Stats textbook we are using. Plus, unlike the textbook, it's short and it makes it easy to get the big ideas quickly. Not to mention the textbook doesn't help you with SAS at all (well, not practically). Very highly recommended for people interested in learning both SAS and Statistical Analysis.
