1
Foundations of SAS Statistics
Establish the basic terminology and conceptual framework for statistical testing in SAS.
- Statistical Terminology 101
Define variables, populations, samples, and types of data used in modeling.6 min - The SAS Analysis Workflow
Understand how data flows from a dataset to a SAS procedure and then to an output window.6 min - The Logic of Hypothesis Testing
Explain the null vs. alternative hypothesis and the significance of the alpha level.7 min - Understanding P-Values
Learn how to read and interpret p-values in any SAS output to determine significance.6 min - Preparing Data for Modeling
Basic data cleaning steps in SAS to ensure variables are ready for statistical testing.5 min
2
Comparing Groups with t-tests and ANOVA
Master the techniques for comparing means across different groups using SAS.
- Introduction to t-tests
When to use one-sample, independent, and paired t-tests for mean comparisons.6 min - Running PROC TTEST
Configure the TTEST procedure and analyze the resulting group comparison tables.7 min - The Basics of ANOVA
Understand Analysis of Variance for comparing means across three or more groups.6 min - Configuring PROC ANOVA
Set up the ANOVA procedure in SAS to test for differences between multiple categories.6 min - Post-hoc Testing in SAS
Learn how to use Tukey or Scheffe tests to find exactly which groups differ after a significant ANOVA.5 min
3
Simple Linear Regression
Build and interpret a basic model predicting one continuous variable from another.
- Principles of Linear Regression
The concept of the 'best-fit line' and the regression equation (y = mx + b).6 min - Running PROC REG
Configure the basic REG procedure to perform a simple linear regression analysis.7 min - Interpreting Coefficients
Understand what the intercept and slope tell you about your real-world data.6 min - R-Squared and Model Fit
Evaluate how much variance your model explains using the Coefficient of Determination.6 min - Visualizing the Fit
Generate and interpret scatter plots with regression lines using SAS ODS Graphics.5 min
4
Multiple Regression and Model Diagnostics
Expand models to multiple predictors and ensure they meet statistical requirements.
- The Multiple Regression Model
Adding multiple independent variables to improve predictive power in PROC REG.6 min - Testing Assumptions: Normality
Use SAS diagnostics to check if your residuals follow a normal distribution.7 min - Detecting Multicollinearity
Use Variance Inflation Factors (VIF) to ensure predictors aren't too highly correlated.6 min - Interpreting Residual Plots
Identify heteroscedasticity and non-linearity through SAS diagnostic output plots.7 min - Influential Observations
Identify outliers using Cook's D and Studentized Residuals in SAS.6 min
5
Logistic Regression for Classification
Model binary outcomes and understand categorical probability.
- Introduction to Logistic Regression
Why we use logistic regression for binary (Yes/No) outcomes instead of linear regression.6 min - Understanding Odds Ratios
Interpret the likelihood of an event occurring based on predictor changes.7 min - Running PROC LOGISTIC
Configure the LOGISTIC procedure and specify the descending option for binary events.7 min - Categorical Predictors
Using CLASS statements to include non-numeric variables in your logistic model.6 min - Model Accuracy and ROC Curves
Evaluate how well your logistic model classifies data using the Area Under the Curve (AUC).6 min
6
Reporting and Professional Insights
Translate complex SAS outputs into clear, actionable business or research reports.
- Standard Reporting Practices
How to format statistical results (p-values, CI, coefficients) for professional papers.6 min - Presenting Data Insights
Translating 'statistical significance' into 'business impact' for stakeholders.6 min - Exporting SAS Results
Using ODS (Output Delivery System) to move results into Excel or PDF for presentations.5 min - Course Wrap-Up: The Data Story
Synthesizing all tools learned to tell a cohesive story from a raw SAS dataset.5 min
The Comprehensive SAS Statistical Report
You will take a raw dataset (e.g., employee retention or medical outcomes), perform a full analysis including group comparisons (t-test/ANOVA), build a predictive regression model (Linear or Logistic), and check all diagnostics.
