Almost all statistical analysis is performed using statistical software. The use of statistical software makes it possible to organize, manipulate, and analyze large amounts of data in an efficient manner. In this course, you will be introduced to one particular statistical software package, SAS (Statistical Analysis Software), and learn how to use its key functions. You will learn about basic concepts and methods for getting data into SAS, as well as focus on the challenges of exporting data from SAS and debugging its programs. In addition, you will learn how to work with information in SAS by modifying data and using macros, and finally, you will perform different types of data visualization and statistical analysis procedures.
