Intermediate Programming in SAS for Applied Linear Models

Graduate Prerequisites: (SPH BS 723) or consent of instructor. It is not recommended that SPH BS 805 and SPH BS852 be taken concurrently. * Can't be taken together for credit with SPH BS 806 - This course is a sequel to SPH BS 723. Emphasis is placed on the use of intermediate-level programming with the SAS statistical computer package to perform analyses using statistical models with emphasis on linear models. Computing topics include advanced data file manipulation, concatenating and merging data sets, working with date variables, array and do-loop programming, and macro construction. Statistical topics include analysis of variance and covariance, multiple linear regression, principal component and factor analysis, linear models for correlated data, and statistical power. Includes a required lab section.
