As the SAS© programming language continues to evolve, this guide follows suit with timely coverage of the combination statistical package, database management system, and high-level programming language. Using current examples from business, medicine, education, and psychology, Applied Statistics and the SAS Programming Language is an invaluable resource for applied researchers, giving them the capacity to perform statistical analyses with SAS without wading through pages of technical documentation. Includes the necessary SAS statements to run programs for most of the commonly used statistics, explanations of the computer output, interpretations of results, and examples of how to construct tables and write up results for reports and journal articles. Illustrated with SAS Graph™ output. Provides readers with ample models for developing programming skills. For anyone interested in learning more about applied statistics and the SAS programming language.

Learn by doing as you work through the programming problems offered in this unique book! Beginning with problems related to the DATA step, moving to elementary and then advanced exercises on frequently used SAS procedures, and also covering problems in statistical analysis, the book offers challenges for beginning, intermediate, and advanced programmers. Students, teachers, and trainers will be able to work with Base SAS procedures such as FORMAT, PRINT, TABULATE, and PLOT; solve simple descriptive statistics problems as well as those using the FREQ, TTEST, GLM, ANOVA, and NPAR1WAY procedures; and have fun with some SAS brainteasers in the book's last section. Each chapter gives readers a good start on solving the problem by providing directions and hints about useful programming tools. As a service to our educational market, this book is available separately. It can also be ordered packaged with the solutions volume.

Learn to program SAS by example!If you like learning by example, then Learning SAS by Example: A Programmer's Guide makes it easy to learn SAS programming. In an instructive and conversational tone, author Ron Cody clearly explains each programming technique and then illustrates it with one or more real-life examples, followed by a detailed description of how the program works. The text is divided into four major sections: Getting Started; DATA Step Processing; Presenting and Summarizing Your Data; and Advanced Topics. Subjects addressed include:Reading data from external sourcesLearning details of DATA step programmingSubsetting and combining SAS data setsUnderstanding SAS functions and working with arraysCreating reports with PROC REPORT and PROC TABULATELearning to use the SAS Output Delivery SystemGetting started with the SAS macro languageIntroducing PROC SQLYou can test your knowledge and hone your skills by solving the problems at the end of each chapter. (Solutions to odd-numbered problems are located at the back of this book. Solutions to all problems are available to instructors by visiting Ron Cody's author page for details.) This book is intended for beginners and intermediate users. Readers should know how to enter and submit a SAS program from their operating system. This book is part of the SAS Press program.

Thoroughly updated for SAS 9, Cody's Data Cleaning Techniques Using SAS, Second Edition, addresses tasks that nearly every SAS programmer needs to do - that is, make sure that data errors are located and corrected. Written in Ron Cody's signature informal, tutorial style, this book develops and demonstrates data cleaning programs and macros that you can use as written or modify for your own special data cleaning needs. Each topic is developed through specific examples, and every program and macro is explained in detail.

Fully updated for SAS 9.2, Ron Cody's SAS Functions by Example, Second Edition, is a must-have reference for anyone who programs in Base SAS. With the addition of functions new to SAS 9.2, this comprehensive reference manual now includes more than 200 functions, including new character, date and time, distance, probability, sort, and special functions. This new edition also contains more examples for existing functions and more details concerning optional arguments. Like the first edition, the new edition also includes a list of SAS programs, an alphabetic list of all the functions in the book, and a comprehensive index of functions and tasks. Beginning and experienced SAS users will benefit from this useful reference guide to SAS functions.

SAS Functions by Example, Second Edition

In SAS Statistics by Example, Ron Cody offers up a cookbook approach for doing statistics with SAS. Structured specifically around the most commonly used statistical tasks or techniques--for example, comparing two means, ANOVA, and regression--this book provides an easy-to-follow, how-to approach to statistical analysis not found in other books. 
 For each statistical task, Cody includes heavily annotated examples using ODS Statistical Graphics procedures such as SGPLOT, SGSCATTER, and SGPANEL that show how SAS can produce the required statistics. Also, you will learn how to test the assumptions for all relevant statistical tests. Major topics featured are correlation, inferential statistics, descriptive statistics, categorical data analysis, simple linear regression, comparing means, multiple regression, logistic regression, non-parametric tests, and power and sample size. 
 This is not a book that teaches statistics. Rather, SAS Statistics by Example is perfect for intermediate to advanced statistical programmers who know their statistics and want to use SAS to do their analyses.

Get up and running with the SAS University Edition using Ron Cody’s easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide. 
 Aimed at beginners who have downloaded the free SAS University Edition and want to either use the point-and-click interactive environment of SAS Studio, or who want to write their own SAS programs, or both, An Introduction to SAS University Edition, begins by showing you how to obtain the SAS University Edition, and how you can run SAS on a PC or Macintosh computer. 
 The first part of the book shows you how to perform basic tasks, such as producing a report, summarizing data, producing charts and graphs, and using the SAS Studio built-in tasks. The first part also describes how you can perform basic statistical tests using the interactive point-and-click environment. 
 The second part of the book shows you how to write your own SAS programs, and how to use SAS procedures to perform a variety of tasks. This part of the book also explains how to read data from a variety of sources: text files, Excel workbooks, and CSV files. In order to get familiar with the SAS Studio environment, this book also shows you how to access dozens of interesting data sets that are included with the product.
