Categorical Data Analysis Using Logistic Regression
Classroom duration: 3.0 days Live Web duration: 6 half-day sessions CEU: 1.8
This course focuses on analyzing categorical response data in scientific fields. The SAS procedures addressed are PROC FREQ, PROC LOGISTIC, and PROC GENMOD.
Learn how to
- use the LOGISTIC procedure for binary, ordinal, and nominal logistic regression
- use the FREQ procedure for preliminary analyses
- create logit plots and ROC curves
- perform exact and conditional logistic regression with PROC LOGISTIC
- analyze repeated and clustered data using generalized estimating equations in the GENMOD procedure.
Who should attend
Biostatisticians, epidemiologists, social scientists, and physical scientists. This course is not designed for predictive modelers in business fields.Prerequisites
Before attending this course, you should- be able to execute SAS programs and create SAS data sets. You can gain this experience by completing the SAS Programming I: Essentials course.
- have experience analyzing frequency tables using SAS software.
- have completed a course in statistics that covers linear regression and logistic regression. You can gain this experience by completing the Statistics I: Introduction to ANOVA, Regression, and Logistic Regression course.

Software Addressed
This course addresses the following software product(s): SAS/STAT, SAS/GRAPH.Classroom Course Materials
Students receive a hardcopy of the course notes and, in some courses, can choose to take home a copy of the course data.Live Web 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, including the exercise files. 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 9 or 8.2 under a Windows operating system; SAS/STAT software; and SAS/GRAPH software. Please note that a portion of this class covers the new features in SAS 9. Students who are using a release earlier than SAS 9 will not be able to complete approximately 20% of the course exercises.
