SAS Programming

BIOL-40190  Credit: 3 units

The SAS system is widely used in business, government, and academia to manage and analyze data. The course provides the tools necessary to write SAS programs to perform elementary data management, analysis, and reporting while stressing good programming practices. The primary objective is to provide the skills necessary to create and document data sets, manage and reshape data, write simple reports to summarize information, and compute basic statistics on data set variables. A secondary objective is to provide the basis for more advanced work, such as data analysis, advanced programming techniques for data management, and interactive applications development.

Note: Prerequisites: Familiarity with computers. No prior experience with SAS is required. Programming experience is helpful but not required.
