This course is designed for SAS Enterprise Guide users who want to perform statistical analyses. The course is written for SAS Enterprise Guide 7.1 along with SAS 9.4, but students with previous SAS Enterprise Guide versions will also get value from this course. An e-course is also available for SAS Enterprise Guide 5.1 and SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3.

Learn how to

• generate descriptive statistics and explore data with graphs
• perform analysis of variance
• perform linear regression and assess the assumptions
• use diagnostic statistics to identify potential outliers in multiple regression
• use chi-square statistics to detect associations among categorical variables
• fit a multiple logistic regression model.

Before attending this course, you should

• be familiar with both SAS Enterprise Guide and basic statistical concepts
• have completed an undergraduate course in statistics covering p-values, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and regression
• be able to perform analyses and create data sets with SAS Enterprise Guide software. You can gain this experience by completing the

course.

This course addresses SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS/STAT, SAS Analytics Pro software.

This course also addresses Base SAS software and touches on SAS/GRAPH and SAS/STAT software. You benefit from this course even if SAS/GRAPH software is not installed at your location.
