SAS Programming: The One-Day Course provides a concise introduction to the SAS programming language that gives readers not only a quick start in SAS programming, but also in the basic data manipulations and statistical summaries that are available through SAS. Unlike other introductory texts on the market, this is a pocket-sized reference that does not clutter the presentation of programming techniques by trying to teach statistical methods at the same time. Strong on explanations of how to carry out data manipulations that real-life data often call for, it also contains a short "workbook" appendix, complete with solutions. Datasets and the programming code are available to download from the Web.

Since most datasets contain a number of variables, multivariate methods are helpful in answering a variety of research questions. Accessible to students and researchers without a substantial background in statistics or mathematics, Essentials of Multivariate Data Analysis explains the usefulness of multivariate methods in applied research. Unlike most books on multivariate methods, this one makes straightforward analyses easy to perform for those who are unfamiliar with advanced mathematical formulae. An easily understood dataset is used throughout to illustrate the techniques. The accompanying add-in for Microsoft Excel (R) can be used to carry out the analyses in the text. The dataset and Excel add-in are available for download on the book's CRC Press web page. Providing a firm foundation in the most commonly used multivariate techniques, this text helps readers choose the appropriate method, learn how to apply it, and understand how to interpret the results. It prepares them for more complex analyses using software such as Minitab (R), R, SAS, SPSS, and Stata.

Aimed at researchers and students , SAS Programming: The One-Day Course provides an introduction to the SAS programming language. It gives the reader a start in SAS programming and the basic data manipulations and statistical summaries that are available through SAS. The book has its origins in material prepared by the author for a one-day course in SAS programming, and the fact that it has been developed from a training course is reflected in the concise nature of the presentation. Unlike other introductory competitors on the market, this is a pocket-sized reference that does not clutter the programming techniques presented by trying to teach statistical techniques at the same time. Strong on explanations of how to carry out data manipulations that real-life data often call for, each programming technique is supported by tasks to develop skills and confidence. It also contains "tasks" for the reader, complete with solutions. Datasets and the programming code are available to download from www.crcpress.com/e_products/downloads. Once readers have mastered the topics covered in the book, they will be well placed to learn further aspects of SAS programming.
