SAS for Elementary Statistics: Getting Started provides an
introduction to SAS programming for those who have experience with
introductory statistical methods. It is also an excellent
programming supplement for an introductory statistics course. It is
appropriate for the beginning programmer with no prior SAS
experience and the researcher who would like to refresh SAS
programming skills. These lessons are those the author has found
successful in the classroom. Strengths of this book include the
following: Examples are easy to follow and understand. Chapters
have user-friendly text and objectives. Each chapter has clear
objectives with SAS syntax and output results given. Objectives are
stated as tasks with detailed step-by-step instructions.
Programming notes based on the author's experience occur throughout
the book. The author assists the reader in making sense of the
error messages in the SAS log. Brief reviews of statistical methods
are included in chapters accompanying the corresponding SAS
procedures. Easy transition from user terminology to SAS
terminology is provided. The ability to select or suppress results
using Output Delivery System (ODS) is made simple. Reading and
writing to external files are among the most used SAS skills, and
these concepts are clearly presented. The IMPORT and EXPORT
procedures and ODS are used to accomplish these tasks. Statistical
Graphics procedures and SAS/GRAPH can be quite challenging to
learn, but these are presented in a very achievable format. Basic
graph construction is first introduced then readers learn how to
add color, pattern, and other enhancements to graphics images.
