SAS 1: Basics
This is the first SAS workshop in a two-part series. This interactive workshop will introduce users to the SAS system. Applied, hands on, examples using real data will be used.
Please note: This workshop is aimed at people who do not have experience using the SAS system. Those who have used SAS in the past may find this workshop too foundational and are encouraged to attend our forthcoming advanced SAS sessions
Workshop Topics
- Reading data into SAS
- Conducting basic data cleaning and recoding
- Using basic SAS procedures (e.g., PROC CONTENTS, PROC PRINT, PROC FREQ) to view and understand data.
- PROC FREQ, PROC UNIVARIATE, and PROC MEANS will be demonstrated to complete basic descriptive statistics.
- An introduction to bivariate statistics in SAS.
Prerequisites: No prior experience with SAS is required. Basic understanding of univariate and bivariate statistics is helpful but not required.
Series: This is the first workshop in this series; SAS 2 is the second. This workshop is for the Windows version of SAS.
Presenters: Dr. Halley E.M. Riley, Data Services Specialist and member of the Library's Research Data Services Team.
