Online: Workshop
Description:
SAS is a powerful programming language used throughout academia and business. It offers a syntax-based environment that handles data management, graphics, simple and advanced statistical analyses, and reproducible workflows.
Objectives:
This workshop is intended for those with training in basic statistics, but without any SAS experience. The goal is to provide participants with all the skills necessary to:
- Import and clean slightly messy data;
- Create variables and merge data;
- Introduce programming loops and arrays;
- Produce descriptive statistics and basic plots;
- Perform common analyses such as t-tests and linear regression; and
- Produce PDF report documents via the ODS delivery system.
Slightly more advanced programming tricks may be covered if time allows. There will be a hands-on component to the workshop for participants with SAS installed. This is encouraged, but not mandatory. Please see application link below.
Note that this workshop covers the SAS programming environment and not cloud-computing SAS Viya products.
Log in information will be sent to workshop registrants prior to the event.
