Ron Cody’s A Gentle Introduction to Statistics Using SAS^® Studio is a clear, no math, no coding introduction to doing statistical analysis with SAS.

Ron gives easy to understand explanations of statistical concepts and types of studies, and tells when each type of analysis is appropriate. The examples he uses for each analysis are simple, which makes it easy to see the connection between the data being analyzed, the statistical test being used, and the output of the SAS procedure.

Ron uses the free SAS University Edition to do the math and the coding for each analysis. He walks through the installation and set-up procedure for the SAS University Edition then takes the reader on a tour of the SAS Studio interface. He gives step-by-step instructions for doing each type of statistical test using the point-and-click SAS Studio interface to build SAS procedure code.

This is an excellent book to help anyone without a math or statistical background understand and do statistical analysis using SAS.
