Stat 5310 - Experimental Design

SAS Statistical Software

• We will be using the online verion of SAS called 'SAS OnDemand for Academics' described below.
  • You can register for your account for 'SAS OnDemand for Academics' at https://welcome.oda.sas.com/login
    • Click on "Don't have a SAS Profile?"
    • Click on "Create Profile" in the "First Time Visitor" box.
  • Once you log in, click on SAS_Studio under 'Applications'.
  • I will send instructions for accessing my STAT231 directory.
• SAS has been available on the computers in the Waterman computing center, in the Votey computer labs, and on computers in the Howe Library in past years.
• SAS has been available from Virtual Machines on campus (e.g., Virtual Votey) in the past, but the interface through 'SAS OnDemand for Academics' is far superior.

SAS Resources

• Instructions for enabling RTF/Word output from SAS online

• A VERY brief introduction to SAS for STAT 5310

• Sample SAS code for example 1_3 in the text. This shows how to read in data from a URL, local file, or a Data Step. Also, it shows the Rich-Text Format (RTF) command for the Output Delivery System (ODS). However, ODS will probably not be necessary when using SAS online.

• SAS Studio at a Glance

• First Steps in SAS

• SASvideos - Writing a Basic SAS Program

• SASdoc - Proc GLM

• SAS OnlineDoc 9.2 (at support.sas.com)

• (a SAS lab for practice)
  This SAS intro lab might be helpful for those who have not used SAS before. I'm happy to go through the "On your own" questions on page 4 with anyone during office hours or at a time that works for you.
