Just Enough SAS®: A Quick-Start Guide to SAS® for Engineers
By Robert Rutledge

In this title, the author provides "just enough" instruction on a broad variety of topics so that a new SAS user can become productive very quickly. Although most of the book is geared toward a general audience, engineers will especially benefit from the focus on analysis of quality and reliability data found in chapters 9 and 10 as well as in the examples throughout the book.

This comprehensive text, prepared using SAS 9.2, can be used both as a tutorial for getting started with SAS and as a reference for details that even experienced SAS users find themselves looking up over and over again. In addition, the companion code to the book includes commonly used utility macros that allow SAS users to wield maximum power with minimal effort. A complete bibliography provides readers with numerous opportunities for further learning.
