This course is designed for SAS Enterprise Guide users who want to perform statistical analyses. The course is written for SAS Enterprise Guide 8 along with SAS 9.4, but students with previous SAS Enterprise Guide versions will also get value from this course.

Learn how to

• Generate descriptive statistics and explore data with graphs.
• Perform analysis of variance.
• Perform linear regression and assess the assumptions.
• Use diagnostic statistics to identify potential outliers in multiple regression.
• Use chi-square statistics to detect associations among categorical variables.
• Fit a multiple logistic regression model.

Who should attend

Statisticians and business analysts who want to use a point-and-click interface to SAS

Formats available	Duration
Classroom:	3 days
Live Web Classroom:	6 half-day session(s)

Before attending this course, you should:

• Be familiar with both SAS Enterprise Guide and basic statistical concepts.
• Have completed an undergraduate course in statistics covering p-values, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and regression.
• Be able to perform analyses and create data sets with SAS Enterprise Guide software. You can gain this experience by completing the SAS Enterprise Guide 1: Querying and Reporting course.

This course addresses SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS/STAT, SAS Analytics Pro software.

This course also addresses Base SAS software and touches on SAS/GRAPH and SAS/STAT software. You benefit from this course even if SAS/GRAPH software is not installed at your location.
