Practical Statistical Methods (A SAS Programming Approach) - 9780367382834

This book presents a broad spectrum of statistical methods useful for researchers without an extensive statistical background. Omitting mathematical details and complicated formulae, it provides SAS programs to carry out the necessary analyses and draw appropriate inferences for common statistical problems. The author describes methods used for quantitative data and continuous data following normal and nonnormal distributions. She also focuses on simple linear regression, logistic regression, and the proportional hazards model. The final chapter briefly discusses such miscellaneous topics as propensity scores, misclassification errors, interim analysis, conditional power, bootstrap, and jackknife.
