Statistical Programming in SAS (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Statistical Programming in SAS Second Edition provides a foundation for programming to implement statistical solutions using SAS, a system that has been used to solve data analytic problems for more than 40　years. The author includes motivating examples to inspire readers to generate programming solutions. Upper-level undergraduates, beginning graduate students, and professionals involved in generating programming solutions for data-analytic problems will benefit from this book. The ideal background for a reader is some background in regression modeling and introductory experience with computer programming.

The coverage of statistical programming in the second edition includes

 Getting data into the SAS system, engineering new features, and formatting variables

 Writing readable and well-documented code

 Structuring, implementing, and debugging programs that are well documented

 Creating solutions to novel problems

 Combining data sources, extracting parts of data sets, and reshaping data sets as needed for other analyses

 Generating general solutions using macros

 Customizing output

 Producing insight-inspiring data visualizations

 Parsing, processing, and analyzing text

 Programming solutions using matrices and connecting to R
