Second Edition SASĀ® PROGRAMMING FOR RESEARCHERS AND SOCIAL SCIENTISTS By PAUL E. SPECTOR, University of South Florida University of South Florida "Just what the novice SAS programmer needs, particularly those who have no real programming experience. For example, branching is one of the more difficult programming commands for students to implement and the author does an excellent job of explaining this topic clearly and at a basic level. A big plus is the Common Errors section since students will definitely encounter errors." --Robert Pavur, Management Science, University of North Texas The book that won accolades from thousands has been completely revised! Taking a problem solving approach ...
Text addresses such tasks as: viewing analytic data preparation in the context of its business environment, identifying the specifics of predictive modeling for data mart creation, understanding the concepts and considerations of data preparation for time series analysis, and using SAS procedures for scoring.
A valuable overview of the most important ideas and results in statistical modeling Written by a highly-experienced author, Foundations of Linear and Generalized Linear Models is a clear and comprehensive guide to the key concepts and results of linearstatistical models. The book presents a broad, in-depth overview of the most commonly usedstatistical models by discussing the theory underlying the models, R software applications,and examples with crafted models to elucidate key ideas and promote practical modelbuilding. The book begins by illustrating the fundamentals of linear models, such as how the model-fitting projects the data onto a model vector subspace and how orthogonal decompositi...
Navigate the world of the powerful SQL procedure with Katherine Prairie's Essential PROC SQL Handbook for SAS Users. Written in an easy-to-use, logical format, this comprehensive reference focuses on the functionality of the procedure, as well as the accomplishment of common tasks using PROC SQL, enabling readers to quickly develop and enhance their SQL skills. Features include more than 300 examples of PROC SQL code, plus queries and diagrams showing how the statements are processed, tips and techniques highlighting "need-to-know" concepts, and an appendix designed specifically for SQL Pass-Through Facility and SAS/ACCESS users. This practical guide is written for SAS users of all levels who want to learn how to integrate the SQL procedure into their Base SAS and/or SAS/ACCESS programs as well as SQL programmers who want to adapt their current skills to SAS. This book is part of the SAS Press program.
This book offers extensive and valuable advice for researchers starting with pharmaceutical studies and doctoral dissertation writing. The contributors provide precise, detailed instructions covering every phase of the research process, from choosing a topic to sharing findings, because they know the intricacies and difficulties that come with it. Essential topics covered in the book include writing a professional thesis, conducting literature reviews, planning experimental methods, and guaranteeing ethical human and animal research procedures. The book promises to provide researchers with the information and abilities required to succeed academically and professionally in the pharmaceutical...
Reviewing the theory of the general linear model (GLM) using a general framework, Univariate and Multivariate General Linear Models: Theory and Applications with SAS, Second Edition presents analyses of simple and complex models, both univariate and multivariate, that employ data sets from a variety of disciplines, such as the social and behavioral sciences. With revised examples that include options available using SAS 9.0, this expanded edition divides theory from applications within each chapter. Following an overview of the GLM, the book introduces unrestricted GLMs to analyze multiple regression and ANOVA designs as well as restricted GLMs to study ANCOVA designs and repeated measuremen...
The transition period of the productive cycle of dairy cows is the most critical and important phase of the entire cycle. Therefore, thorough knowledge of physiology and the challenges that the cows must face to achieve an optimal transition from pregnancy to lactation is fundamental for the productive and reproductive success of the dairy cow. Therefore, this book offers a comprehensive and detailed description of all the metabolic and physiological processes that the cow in transition experiences and how this period can be managed efficiently and rationally, fundamentally considering the nutritional and feeding management and the cow-comfort of the cow to achieve a smooth and efficient transition from pregnancy to lactation and a favorable immune status to avoid the appearance of periparturient diseases.
With numerous examples using SAS PROC GLIMMIX, this text presents an introduction to linear modeling using the generalized linear mixed model as an overarching conceptual framework. For readers new to linear models, the book helps them see the big picture. It shows how linear models fit with the rest of the core statistics curriculum and points out the major issues that statistical modelers must consider.
A guide to data collection, modeling and inference strategies for biological survey data using Bayesian and classical statistical methods.This book describes a general and flexible framework for modeling and inference in ecological systems based on hierarchical models, with a strict focus on the use of probability models and parametric inference. Hierarchical models represent a paradigm shift in the application of statistics to ecological inference problems because they combine explicit models of ecological system structure or dynamics with models of how ecological systems are observed. The principles of hierarchical modeling are developed and applied to problems in population, metapopulatio...
Streetwise brings together classic articles from the publication that helped revolutionize the way Wall Street does business. During the recession of the early 1970s, investment professionals turned to the theories of a small band of mathematical economists, whose ideas on such topics as portfolio development and risk management eventually led to the reform and maintenance of entire economies. This was the first time economists and practitioners had joined forces to such remarkable effect. Economist and money manager Peter Bernstein sought to encourage this exchange when, in 1974, he founded The Journal of Portfolio Management (JPM). For this present volume, Bernstein and JPM editor Frank Fa...
