Elementary Statistics Using SAS

“In this book the author first introduces you to SAS software, then shows how to use SAS to perform basic statistical analysis. The book is well written and organized. General topics include how to use the SAS windowing environment to write and submit SAS programs; how to create SAS data sets and modify the variables that they contain; basic descriptive statistics (measures of central tendency and variability, frequency tables, and graphs); correlation and regression, performing basic linear regression (lines, curves, and two-variable models); performing simple regression diagnostics (residuals plots); t tests (single-sample, independent and paired samples); analysis of variance (ANOVA), both one-way and factorial; and the chi-square test of independence. Even if you are new to statistics and computers, you soon will be recording research data, writing SAS programs, and interpreting the results.” – AbouEl-Makarim Aboueissa, Assistant Professor of Statistics “Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Southern Maine”
