Statistical Programming in SAS
About this book
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
