Course Description

Statisticians, researchers, and business analysts who use SAS programming to generate analyses using either continuous or categorical response (dependent) variables

About Program

This introductory course is for SAS software users who perform statistical analyses using SAS/STAT software. The focus is on t tests, ANOVA, and linear regression, and includes a brief introduction to logistic regression. This course (or equivalent knowledge) is a prerequisite to many of the courses in the statistical analysis curriculum.

Format of Training

Live Web Classroom

Training is Led by an expert instructor live online using live web training platform, and this are not pre recorded lectures. Trainer can virtually look over your shoulder. Discuss, share, exchange ideas with students from different countries. 

Taste of Live Web - is a perfect platform for indivudals who fear online training. SAS® gives an opportunity to all the registrants to have a closer look at different courses given below with a blend of Online Learning. 

All the benefits of the classroom without the travel:

Classroom training options include courses offered in our regional training centers or via our Live Web classroom.

Prerequisite

Before attending this course, you should

  • have completed the equivalent of an undergraduate course in statistics covering p-values, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and regression
  • be able to execute SAS programs and create SAS data sets. You can gain this experience by completing the SAS Programming 1: Essentials course.

This course addresses SAS/STAT software.

This course also addresses Base SAS software and touches on SAS/GRAPH software. You can benefit from this course even if SAS/GRAPH software is not installed at your location.

Training Features

  • generate descriptive statistics and explore data with graphs
  • perform analysis of variance and apply multiple comparison techniques
  • perform linear regression and assess the assumptions
  • use regression model selection techniques to aid in the choice of predictor variables in multiple regression
  • use diagnostic statistics to assess statistical assumptions and identify potential outliers in multiple regression
  • use chi-square statistics to detect associations among categorical variables
  • fit a multiple logistic regression model
  • score new data using developed models.
