Statistical Programming in SAS cover

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

Processing text

Programming with matrices

Connecting SAS with R

Covering topics that are part of both base and certification exams.

"This book is useful for people who want to learn SAS programing, and assumes the students have knowledge of multiple linear regression and one-way ANOVA models.…The second edition has added a chapter on text processing, and reorganized the chapter order…Some topics that are relevant for the SAS Base and Certifications exams are covered, and a nice feature is the highlighting of programing tips in gray."

"This is a very complete book for programming SAS in statistical analyses. This second edition offers the possibility to debug some programs and provides new examples and applications, which are very useful. This book is a very useful companion tool for students or beginners in SAS, or for more experienced statisticians who already use SAS for statistical analyses."
