Basic Statistics Using SAS Enterprise Guide: A Primer

Now it's easy to perform many of the most common statistical techniques when you use the SAS Enterprise Guide point-and-click interface to access the power of SAS. Emphasizing the practical aspects of the analysis, Geoff Der and Brian Everitt's Basic Statistics Using SAS Enterprise Guide: A Primer shows you how to conduct a wide range of statistical analyses without any SAS programming required. One or more real data sets, a brief introduction of the technique, and a clear explanation of the SAS Enterprise Guide output are provided for each analysis. Exercises at the end of each chapter help you consolidate what has been learned.

Topics include:

• Analysis of variance
• Dealing with categorical data
• Logistic regression
• Regression
• Significance tests
• Survival analysis
• And more

This text is ideal for those who want to use SAS to analyze their data, but do not have the time to undertake the considerable amount of learning involved in the programming approach.
