Remaining the go-to resource for learning how to use SAS for many kinds of statistical analysis, this third edition of a bestseller explains how to conduct a range of statistical analyses using the latest version of SAS. It illustrates each type of analysis with numerous real-world data examples, such as environmental causes of diseases, hypertension treatment, and gastric cancer treatment. This edition presents the new graphics procedures of SAS 9.2. It also includes more end-of-chapter exercises and selected answers in the appendix, along with a solutions manual that provides SAS code, output, and comments. The SAS programs and data sets used in the book are available online.
