Product Description
Product Description
In Statistical Programming in SAS, author A. John Bailer integrates SAS tools with interesting statistical applications and uses SAS 9.2 as a platform to introduce programming ideas for statistical analysis, data management, and data display and simulation. Written using a reader-friendly and narrative style, the book includes extensive examples and case studies to present a well-structured introduction to programming issues.
This book has two parts. The first part addresses the nuts and bolts, including fostering good programming habits, getting external data sets into SAS to construct an analysis data set, generating basic descriptive statistical summaries, producing customized tables, generating more attractive output, and producing high-quality graphical displays. The second part emphasizes programming in the context of a DATA step, in macros, and in SAS/IML software.
Examples of statistical methods and concepts not always encountered in basic statistics courses (for example, bootstrapping, randomization tests, and jittering) are used to illustrate programming ideas. This book provides extensive illustrations of the new statistical graphics procedures in SAS, a description of the new ODS Graphics Editor, and an introduction to some of the capabilities of SAS/IML Studio, such as producing dynamically linked data displays and invoking R from SAS.

While this book provides an excellent foundation in content and good coding habits for beginning SAS users, it is also a great resource for the experienced programmer. Highly recommended!

Not a good "Intro to SAS", Dec 26 2011

This review is from: Statistical Programming in SAS (Perfect Paperback)
Having programmed in many other languages, I thought that I could pick this up as a quick intro/use guide for SAS. Not so. After the first couple of chapters, I now have to go get another book that will explain commands in a sensible fashion. This book's style is to present short pieces of code containing a number of new commands and comment on one piece, without talking about some of the options listed with it, and apparently never getting back to the details. I'm not sure who the target is; these sections are not useful for someone who doesn't know SAS, and not needed for someone who does. This may be a good book for someone who knows some SAS but not programming, but not for someone who knows programming but not SAS.

Great book, July 22 2010

This review is from: Statistical Programming in SAS (Perfect Paperback)
Great book. Despite the boring cover, Bailer does a great job of bringing statistics to life in a humorous manner (as humorous as stats can be). Highly recommend.
Listmania!
