Describes applications of log-linear models that use GENMOD procedure in SAS to solve problems the arise in the statistical analysis of categorical data.

This textbook for students in the health and social sciences covers the basics of linear model methods with a minimum of mathematics, assuming only a pre-calculus background. Numerous examples drawn from the news and current events with an emphasis on health issues, illustrate the concepts in an immediately accessible way. Methods covered include linear regression models, Poisson regression, logistic regression, proportional hazards regression, survival analysis, and nonparametric regression. The author emphasizes interpretation of computer output in terms of the motivating example. All of the R code is provided and carefully explained, allowing readers to quickly apply the methods to their own data. Plenty of exercises help students think about the issues involved in the analysis and its interpretation. Code and datasets are available for download from the book's website at www.cambridge.org/zelterman

This textbook for a second course in basic statistics for undergraduates or first-year graduate students introduces linear regression models and describes other linear models including Poisson regression, logistic regression, proportional hazards regression, and nonparametric regression. Numerous examples drawn from the news and current events with an emphasis on health issues illustrate these concepts. Assuming only a pre-calculus background, the author keeps equations to a minimum and demonstrates all computations using SAS. Most of the programs and output are displayed in a self-contained way, with an emphasis on the interpretation of the output in terms of how it relates to the motivating example. Plenty of exercises conclude every chapter. All of the datasets and SAS programs are available from the book's website, along with other ancillary material.

The primary focus here is on log-linear models for contingency tables, but in this second edition, greater emphasis has been placed on logistic regression. The book explores topics such as logistic discrimination and generalised linear models, and builds upon the relationships between these basic models for continuous data and the analogous log-linear and logistic regression models for discrete data. It also carefully examines the differences in model interpretations and evaluations that occur due to the discrete nature of the data. Sample commands are given for analyses in SAS, BMFP, and GLIM, while numerous data sets from fields as diverse as engineering, education, sociology, and medicine are used to illustrate procedures and provide exercises. Throughoutthe book, the treatment is designed for students with prior knowledge of analysis of variance and regression.

Features and capabilities of the REG, ANOVA, and GLM procedures are included in this introduction to analysing linear models with the SAS System. This guide shows how to apply the appropriate procedure to data analysis problems and understand PROC GLM output. Other helpful guidelines and discussions cover the following significant areas: Multivariate linear models; lack-of-fit analysis; covariance and heterogeneity of slopes; a classification with both crossed and nested effects; and analysis of variance for balanced data. This fourth edition includes updated examples, new software-related features, and new material, including a chapter on generalised linear models. Version 8 of the SAS System was used to run the SAS code examples in the book. * Provides clear explanations of how to use SAS to analyse linear models * Includes numerous SAS outputs * Includes new chapter on generalised linear models * Uses version 8 of the SAS system This book assists data analysts who use SAS/STAT software to analyse data using regression analysis and analysis of variance. It assumes familiarity with basic SAS concepts such as creating SAS data sets with the DATA step and manipulating SAS data sets with the procedures in base SAS software.

This special collection of SAS Global Forum papers demonstrates new and enhanced capabilities and applications of lesser-known SAS/STAT and SAS Viya procedures for regression models. The goal here is to raise awareness of current valuable SAS/STAT content of which the user may not be aware. Also available free as a PDF from sas.com/books.

Providing practice data inspired by actual studies, this book explains how to choose the right statistic, understand the assumptions underlying the procedure, prepare an SAS program for an analysis, interpret the output, and summarize the analysis and results according to the format prescribed in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
