Title: SAS Programming II;
Course Information:
This is part II of the two-part series in SAS programming. The first course covered the look and feel of SAS using an actual data set. Now, we are going to use SAS to construct and validate a predictive model. Lastly, I will demonstrate how to write a loop with some conditional logic, as well as how you can easily incorporate the power of SQL in the SAS environment.
Topics:
1) Review of DATA and PROC steps
2) Transforming numeric, character, and date values
3) Simple Regression Analysis (PROC REG)
4) Regression Diagnostics
5) DO Loops with IF-THEN/ELSE Statement
6) PROC SQL
