SAS is a software package for statistical analysis of data. This tutorial will introduce you to the basics of SAS and will cover importing, creating and editing data sets, and provide an overview of commonly used statistical procedures.
Software:

Computer workstations with SAS installed are available for in-person tutorials in Bobst 617. For remote tutorials, while some patrons decide to approach tutorials as a demonstration of the software, other patrons approach tutorials with a more “hands-on” approach and wish to interact with the software during the tutorial. If the latter is the case, we recommend referencing our supported software page for additional information on accessing/downloading the software prior to the tutorial.
Duration: 90 min
