Stat Studio is a new product in SAS 9.2 for high-end statistical analysis. It is intended for use by cutting-edge problem solvers who are familiar with SAS STAT and SAS/IML, but who require greater versatility and interactivity to program new methods and explore their results graphically. Stat Studio, which is included with the SAS/IML product, provides a graphical interface for many statistical analyses as well as a programming language that combines SAS programming, IML programming, and interactive data analysis. This course uses SAS Stat Studio 3.1 to produce innovative data analysis solutions through SAS/STAT procedures, IML programming, IMLPlus programming, and a point-and-click interface. Extensive knowledge of IML programming is not necessary for the course, although some familiarity is helpful. Emphasis is on IMLPlus, the extended IML language that ties together data, analysis, and graphics. Students will learn through lecture, demonstrations, and hands-on practice the basics of using SAS Stat Studio 3.1. The course also highlights several advanced topics for extending analyses further.

Course Materials

Students attend Live Web classes using a Web browser and a telephone and interact with their instructor and fellow classmates in real time. Each student receives an e-mail with instructions on how to join the class three business days before the class begins. The instructions e-mail includes a link to download the course materials. Students need to download and print the course materials prior to class.

System Requirements

For Live Web, you must

review and follow the general system requirements.
complete the course exercises through our virtual lab. The virtual lab allows you to access the software used in class over the Internet, so that you do not need this software on your local machine.
run this test to connect to a virtual lab session. If firewall problems prevent you from connecting to the virtual lab, then you will need the following software installed and configured in your environment to participate in the course exercises:
- Base SAS, SAS/STAT, SAS/IML, and SAS Stat Studio 3.1 software (Windows client application that is included with your SAS/IML license), Release 9.2, on a Windows operating system
